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.
A couple of other big dog Perry donors got some sweet company start up bucks from the State of Texas as well.
You are a liar. Perry’s largest campaign donors stopped the sanctuary cities bill. So, now you just make it up as you go?
E-Verify doesn’t work against the illegal’s gold standard — fake i.d. = E-Verify does not work.
The VP's job is to parrot the President. You start practicing that as a candidate. When Palin would veer off "script" all hell would break loose. We sure read about it enough on FR. Remember when she called Limbaugh? It was "leaked" that she wasn't supposed to and she never did it again. They punished her after McCain lost by telling ugly stories. Remember she was a Diva and demanded expensive clothes? She was not allowed to speak her mind. She had to parrot McCain. There's more than enough proof of her REAL opinion on amnesty.
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.
Well Perry broke his word about not running. When this is the first thing Gov. Palin mentioned unto hearing the news Perry is running you know it’s not a go thing.
“The Governor the great state of Texas had better get much more vetted before I condidering throwing my support to him.”
When you get the full picture of Perry, after he has been vetted, you will be throwing something, Onyx, but it will be “at” him rather than “to” him and it won’t be your support. LOL
That’s all anyone has asked. If you can’t get over his desire for secure borders, his creating 40% of the new jobs in this country, his balanced budget, his Christian values, his....well, you should vote for someone else.
not a go thing. Should be “not a good thing”
BOHICA, baby.
Liar. Perry opposed it because it is unconstitutional, and the job of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to secure the border. He believe in accountability and has endeavored to bring accountability to the Obama administration since that fell asleep on border security on Day 1.
Get real. How long would a running mate last that contradicted everything the lead on the ticket said? Your assertions are pathetic.
Ha! Good one.
This can, also, be interpreted as Sarah saying that she’s fine with illegal immigrants who get in line to become legal immigrants and who, from now on, truly obey all of America’s laws that are created for everybody equally in America. A truly colorblind society where everybody throughout the U.S. and throughout all U.S. territories obeys the same set of rules as one group of people is the only way that the U.S. will survive as a capitalistic country and for the long term. No to: amnesty for illegal immigrants, affirmative action, and political correctness, and for always!
“has endeavored to bring accountability to the Obama administration since that fell asleep on border security on Day 1.”
And for the nine years before Obama showed up, what was Perry doing...giving tuition breaks to illegals, opposing the fence, and trying to build an illegal superhighway.
Perry has been pursuing open borders policies since Obama was in the state Senate in Illinois. He is a DISASTER.
No. You started it. She just posted a relevant article to all the Perry haters who are out in force on FR. This is disgusting.
Yes, E-Verify is not a 100% solution, but it will make a huge dent. It only matches and checks the veracity of the number.
