Supports a path to citizenship, but no amnesty for illegals
Q: Should undocumented immigrants all should be deported?
A: There is no way that in the US we would roundup every illegal immigrant - there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants - not only economically is that just an impossibility but that's not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue.
Q: Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 million undocumented immigrants?
A: No, I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. We have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides.
Q: So you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
A: I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.

Took no action on Alaska's "sanctuary cities" Lou Dobbs notes that at least two of Alaska's cities have been officially designated as sanctuary cities: "An August 14, 2006 report produced by the Congressional Research Service listed 31 cities and counties that have 'don't ask, don't tell' sanctuary policies in place. They [include] Anchorage, Alaska [and] Fairbanks, Alaska. Alaska and Oregon both have state-wide policies that forbid state agencies from using resources to enforce federal immigration law."
Apparently, this is by design from the highest levels.
In fact, a resolution to that effect was passed in the Alaska state legislature in 2003 (before Palin's election): "[Alaska] House Joint Resolution 22 - May 2003: Establishes that state agencies and instrumentalities may not use state resources or institutions for the enforcement of federal immigration laws, which are the responsibility of the federal government."
It’s not clear whether Gov. Palin has ever weighed in, pro or con, on Alaska’s sanctuary policies.

Tightened restrictions on illegal alien's drivers licenses
There has been an ongoing fight in Alaska over drivers' licenses for illegals. A bill banning drivers' licenses for illegals passed the Alaska state senate in 2003 [before Palin was elected governor]: "JUNEAU (AP) - The state Senate approved a bill that tightens the standards for getting a driver’s license by requiring applicants prove they are in the country legally and by placing time limits on licenses for legal aliens."
The measure did not pass into law. In any event, Palin's DMV subsequently tightened the administrative regulations on drivers' licenses, thereby giving rise to a lawsuit by some folks who found the new restrictions inconvenient.
This person just put up a simple post and you jump all over him/her, throwing your *weight* around because you’ve been on FR a little longer? Good grief. We’re on the same side. It’s primary season, and everyone is hot and bothered and ready to clobber Obama. That doesn’t mean you get to attack each candidate (INCLUDING Rick Perry). The Dems will do a FINE job vetting him, I promise, without the help of fellow Republicans. I’ll tell you what: those of us who support him are NOT GOING AWAY because a bunch of Palin supporters or Bauchman supporters of Paul supporters or Romney supports or OBAMA SUPPORTERS attack us en masse. Not gonna happen.
Oh, she was just a parrot then and a Pariah now? And, Perry is an open borders sell out. Sure...Whatever you Palin Bots say.
You're funny. Do stand up often?
Oooh. You really finished his presidential aspirations there. Have you forgotten that after the 911 attack by a guy named Osama bin Laden this country elected its first muslim named Barack Obama?
I’m not attacking her. I love her.
Perry is cozy with muslims too. Remind you of anyone? Sure does me. See Post 95.
That is the biggest BS I ever heard in my life. VP candidates can refuse to take a stance and say that our candidate for POTUS believes x, y and z, and I am going to support that person in executing that agenda. In this interview, that was NOT the case. The VP candidate was saying “I support x, y and z”.
Come on you Palin Bots. At least be honest.
I will not vote for any amnesty or path-to-citizenship person.
No. actually, some of you will be going away...
I’m sitting here laughing! Read again what you said. You just compared Perry’s muslim ties to Obama. Guess my job is done! :-)
I just got ‘vetted’ by Perry supporters on another thread. I guess if Sarah doesn’t run; I can sit the next election out...
Are you bipolar?
Nope, just speaking political truth. You can pour all your hopes and dreams into politicians with little record on national issues because they can say whatever they want and never have to back it up. Some people things that’s great, and some people find that unappealing.
Is it now considered "starting a forum war" to discuss statements made by possible presidential candidates in 2008?
Maybe though we should have a rule that if someone posts anything about a candidate, they have to first fully research all the quotes from the candidate on the issue, and then they have to present them in full, with all documenting evidence. Because otherwise, well, people might start posting individual statements and pretending it's a candidate's position or something, and God knows we've never done that before and certainly don't want to start now.
Yeah. It’s crazy. I teach American Exceptionalism and pride in our own history to Texas college kids. It’s crazy. I’ll probably be fired any day now as I am the ONLY fool brave enough to do it these days.
She started saying anything and everything to tack rigt after being the “victim” during the 2008 campaign.
Apparently you are unaware of Palin’s record. Oh well.
