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."
Itâs not clear whether Gov. Palin has ever weighed in, pro or con, on Alaskaâs 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 driverâs 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.
jla’s too.
I never said you had to be fair or balanced — it’s your site, and you can ban anybody you want.
Perry stands to lose revenue and commerce if the borders were tightened to where checkpoints etc. were established. He seems to prefer manpower....which is costly to say the least...and puts our guys in harms way.
I believe the Pres. first priority is to protect the security of our nation....how can anyone see Perry as doing that when his record speaks he is not interested in closing the borders at all...and willing to "risk" the security of our nation for revenues and monitary gain for his state.
Are you claiming that Perry is personally gaining revenue and commerce, or do you mean the state of Texas does business with people from Mexico across the border?
Aw Wini, you just can’t express yourself without adopting someone else’s funny lines, can you? It’s okay. You and the other 87% enjoy your day, and your candidate’s loss.
No. No list. I’m not that much of a cat.
Yes. It was time for a nappy poo after that senseless diatribe. You are so clever.
Norman, the might D said nothing of the sort. I’m worried about you. Really. Have you ever heard of Prozac?

Great shot with the spike strips. |
Which delusion troubles you this day D? You suffer so many I’d think you were MPD
Norman, nobody cares to read your heckling. No one. Have a nice day.
Why D, I am truly hurt. I merely inquired as to your health, mentally speaking, after your night of completely random, arbitrary and factually inaccurate blather toward my fellow cultists.
And you spurn my concerns unjustly. Perhaps a placard in your honor would help bring you joy. Trollhenge needs a few good people such as yo bad self.
You’re so sweet, Norm. Thank you for your concern. I’m busy now with people that like to have grown-up conversations. Have a nice day.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
That’s good. Perhaps you will lean from them and apply it yourself.
No. I never lean from people.
Palin is a true conservative, unlike your candidate, Ron Paul.
Or, in so many words, "be quiet and let us spout whatever bullshit we want about your chosen candidate."
I simply suggested that you read the rest of the thread and inform yourself about Palin's statements on illegal immigration before spouting off charges of "RINO, CINO, etc."
You want to throw those sort of uninformed charges around, be prepared to get taken to task for it.
I’m a bit late to this discussion, but FWIW, La has in state tuition for residents (5yrs) who have completed the core curriculum and achieve a certain ACT score. Stipends are awarded to higher ACT scores. The awards don’t pay 100% of tuition/fees, but it pays roughly 75 - 80%.
