Whos Fred Malek and why should you care? Think of him as sort of the Beltway-insider equivalent of John Ziegler. Like Ziegs, hes a Sarahcuda defender par excellence, and like Ziegs, he doesnt think shes angling for a serious shot at the presidency. From a WaPo profile last year describing him as the authority on Palin:

Univison: To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
Palin: I do because I understand why people would want to be in America.
A "path to citizenship" for illegals is amnesty.
Orwell wrote about their mentality back in 1948.
Alrighty then...
Its pretty simple I ratchet that one down to the simple answer because its an easier answer than some politicians want it to make it be. you close the borders. You get more aggressive about cracking down on the illegal aliens and we take it serious what our border patrol officers are trying to do
“They are called illegal aliens for a reason and if they are not going to follow the rules they should not be in our country.”
And just how does an illegal alien follow the rules?
No, you have Plain Devotion Syndrome, NOT me.
Two steps:
1. Don't get caught committing other crimes.
2. Wait to be given citizenship.
Same with both plans.

Different verbiage, same meaning, same result. Amnesty.
"They must pay a penalty, and abide by all of our laws going forward." --Barack Obama
The other amnesty plan doesn't even include paying a penalty.
Waaahhhhhh!
Can you read?
They are called illegal aliens for a reason and if they are not going to follow the rules they should not be in our country.
Yeah, I can read. Evidently you cannot read.
How about another Palin quote.

No Sarah, you are for the “Republican” McCain amnesty.

A detailed history of McCain voting JUST on amnesty
2007: Voted on Senate floor in favor of motion to invoke cloture on S. 1639, a bill to reward illegal aliens with amnesty Sen. McCain voted in favor of a second motion to invoke cloture on S. 1639 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Edward Kennedy), a bill to reward up to 6 million illegal aliens with amnesty. The motion to invoke cloture would have limited further debate on the bill and moved it to a final vote. A vote for cloture was effectively a vote in favor of passing the amnesty-guestworker bill. The motion to invoke cloture failed by a vote of 46 to 53.
2007: Voted on Senate floor in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens Sen. McCain voted in favor of a motion to invoke cloture on S. 1639 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Edward Kennedy), a bill to reward illegal aliens with amnesty. The motion to invoke cloture was a move to initiate debate on the proposal and limit further discussion of amendments to a previously-agreed upon set of proposals thus a vote against cloture was effectively a vote in favor of killing the amnesty-guestworker bill. The motion to invoke cloture passed by a vote of 64 to 35.
2007: Voted on Senate floor against reducing amnesties for illegal aliens Sen. McCain voted in favor of a motion to invoke cloture on the substitute amendment (SA 1150) to S. 1348, a bill to reward illegal aliens with amnesty. The motion to invoke cloture would have ended debate on the proposal and limited further discussion of amendments to a previously-agreed upon set of proposals thus a vote in favor of cloture was effectively a vote in favor of the amnesty-guestworker bill. The motion to invoke cloture failed by a vote of 45 to 50.

McCain voted in favor of the Cornyn Amendment (SA 1250) to S. 1348 to discourage applicants from applying for amnesty by eliminating the provisions protecting the confidentiality of the information contained in amnesty applications and, instead, requires the sharing of application-related information upon the request of a law enforcement agency, intelligence, or national security agency, or DHS component when requested in connection with a duly-authorized investigation of a civil violation. The Cornyn Amendment passed by a vote of 57 to 39.
2007: Voted on Senate floor against amendment to bar certain criminals from amnesty Sen. McCain voted against the Cornyn Amendment (SA 1184) to S. 1385 (whose main sponsor was Sen.

The Cornyn Amendment failed by a vote of 46 to 51.
2007: Voted against amendment to strip amnesty provisions from S. 1348 in 2007 Sen. McCain voted against the Vitter Amendment to strip the amnesty provisions from S. 1348 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Harry Reid). The Vitter Amendment failed by a vote of 29 to 66.
2007: Cosponsoring S. 774 to reward illegal aliens with amnesty S. 774 (whose main sponsor is Sen. Dick Durbin) would reward illegal aliens under the age of 21 who have been physically present in the country for five years and are in 7th grade or above with amnesty. An estimated 500,000 to 600,000 illegal aliens would qualify for this amnesty.
2007: Cosponsoring S. 340 to grant amnesty to illegal aliens (AgJOBS) Sen. McCain is a cosponsor of S. 340 (whose main sponsor is Sen. Dianne Feinstein) to encourage more illegal immigration by rewarding certain illegal aliens who work in agriculture with amnesty.

2006: Voted against procedural move to reward illegal aliens with amnesty Sen. McCain voted against cloture on SA 3424, a compromise amnesty proposal by Sens. Hagel (R-NE) and Martinez (R-FL). The purpose of voting against allowing a final vote on this proposal varied from Senator to Senator, with many of them favoring the proposal but not willing to bring it up without a lot of votes on amendments.

“December 2009 on the Lars Larson radio talk show:
Palin: we need to close the borders. They are called illegal aliens for a reason and if they are not going to follow the rules they should not be in our country.
Its pretty simple I ratchet that one down to the simple answer because its an easier answer than some politicians want it to make it be. You close the borders. You get more aggressive about cracking down on the illegal aliens and we take it serious what our border patrol officers are trying to do
How about another Palin quote.
I am not for the Democrat amnesty.
No Sarah, you are for the Republican McCain amnesty.
Or?
Mar 27, 2010 Fox I support McCains position on illegal immigration
Oh sure, she is for closing the borders. She is also for granting amnesty to the 20+ million already here.
“As far as I can recall, Sarah Palin has never sat in the US Senate before, nor has she been in the US congress nor voted for or against any bill there. “
Thank you for the non sequitur, Joe.
That was pitiful, Joe.
What about these, Joe?
How about another Palin quote.
I am not for the Democrat amnesty.
No Sarah, you are for the Republican McCain amnesty.
Or?

What does that mean? They're already closed. Illegals cross the borders illegally, in anticipation of being given citizenship and welfare.
You get more aggressive about cracking down on the illegal aliens
And what does that mean? Giving them citizenship? More empty noise.
and we take it serious what our border patrol officers are trying to do
By stabbing them in the back and giving the illegals citizenship?
