I think I remember her citing the Statue of Liberty once while talking about immigration...that is almost always a bad sign.
But yeah, it isn’t totally fair to judge her for her position while on McCain’s ticket seeing as how leftwing he is on immigration. And to her credit, she supported the Arizona law.
But there is little to indicate she would be good on immigration. Would she oppose a path to citizenship for millions of future Democrats? Would she support attrition through enforcement? And what is her view on legal immigration? Does she support abolishing the absurd Diversity Visa program? And does she support allowing a million or more legal immigrants per year?
Who knows? I have no confidence that she would be any good on immigration, but she’d probably be no more worthless than Bush was, or Perry or Romney would be.
What’s wrong with the statue of liberty and Emma Lazarus? The problem is welfare and government spending, not immigration. Take away the benefits and you’ll have folks who actually want to work.
“The DREAM Act, well see, the immigrants of the past, they had to literally and figuratively stand in line to become U.S. citizens,” said Palin. “I’d like to see that continue, and unfortunately the DREAM Act kind of usurps that, the system.”
