Palin said on Rush last year that she does not support amnesty. Anything she said while McCain’s VP should be taken with a grain of salt because it was McCain’s message, not hers.
This rumor has been debugged a long time ago.
Any legislation that legalizes the status of those who broke our laws by entering our country illegally and allows them to stay and work here is amnesty. We must not only prevent the Democrats and some moderate Republicans from hijacking the meaning of the word amnesty, but the public must be made aware about the true impact of an amnesty. The Heritage Foundation concluded that the cost of amnesty alone would be $2.6 trillion. And the number of additional LEGAL immigrants who would join those who were the recipients of amnesty through chain migration, i.e., family reunification, would approach 70 million over a 20-year period, assuming there are only 12 million illegal aliens. We cannot assimilate such numbers. An amnesty would destroy the United States of America with the stroke of a pen.
Obama and McCain are against an amnesty. Cite me anything definitive that shows Palin is against an amnesty as I defined it.
