Following the news of her return to cable news, Sarah Palin surprised nobody by appearing on On The Record to voice her support for Donald Trump‘s immigration policies. She began by telling Greta Van Susteren that even though Trump’s plans are not yet complete, she praised him for looking at the big picture, and challenged his competitors to do the same.
“When we incentivize people to come on over with any avenue, it sends the wrong message to illegals,” Palin said. “In fact, we are rewarding them taking illegal action as their first step as they are on our land. How much sense does that make?
Van Susteren then asked Palin about her opinion about Trump’s proposed idea to revoke birthright citizenship despite the challenge it posed by the 14th Amendment. Palin responded by saying that the notion that the GOP wants to separate kids from their families is a deliberate portrayal of heartlessness. She also expressed confidence that Trump’s inevitable policy proposals will teach children to stay in line and that their family unit will be maintained.
Van Susteren’s last part of the discussion took a look at whether Palin’s enthusiasm implied an endorsement. Palin did not confirm either way, but responded by saying she was “so happy” with Trump:
“He is the best thing to happen to the political class since the beauty of the Tea Party genuine movement rose up and shined light on crony capitalism and pulled the rug right out from under status quo politicians who just kind of embrace that permanent political class.”

One of the Best I have ;)
I have the opposite opinion. I think he is a patriot who loves the U.S.A.
He would serve if asked.
So, what would be a good position for him? Secretary of State?
Greta really asked a mega stupid question implying that the wall will not stop the illegals and that they could fly in instead of walking across the border.
I live in Arizona and every year we get several hundred thousand illegals passing through the state. That figure has gone as high as 500,000 in one year. A wall would definitely stop that. This is a no brainer.
If all the illegals that walk across came in by plane there would be an extra million passengers coming through. Give me a break. The cost of a ticket would go through the roof and the government would become instantly aware of the problem. If it were that easy they would all fly in instead of risking their lives walking across. What an idiotic comment.
There are entire sections of Phoenix that look and sound like a town in Mexico. Was never like this 20 years ago and now I regularly carry my Glock. Some parts of town are not safe and Arizonans can be seen carrying their firearms. Why do you think that is?
A wall will solve the problem very nicely thank you very much.
Sarah’s endorsement is golden.
Pray America is waking
Jefferson Sessions as Vice President
Department of State , (Return INS.) – John Bolton
Department of Justice - Trey Gowdy (Suggested by The Donald)
Department of Treasury, (includes HHS Customs) – Carl Icahn (Offered and Accepted)
Department of War, (change the name back, include VA function.) – Gen. James Mattis
Department of Interior, (includes former Agriculture, Transportation, HHS Border Patrol, and Energy legitimate functions) – Gov. Palin
Department of Labor and Commerce – ELIMINATE
Department of Health and Human Services - ELIMINATE
Department of Homeland Security – ELIMINATE
Department of Education - ELIMINATE
Department of Housing and Urban Development – ELIMINATE
Palin, Secretary of the Interior? That would be delicious.
Sarah is right about illegals coming over and taking our jobs. One thing she didn’t mention is how many come over here and sign up for welfare.
Either way, she is right. Trump is the only one talking about issues that matter.
I have the opposite opinion. I think he is a patriot who loves the U.S.A. He would serve if asked. So, what would be a good position for him? Secretary of State?
A true believer eh..
Trump would be good in as liaison to the Government Workers Union.. as Federal Employment becomes a right to work federal givernment.. in lieu of a proposed new law to make ANY federal givernment Union ILLEGAL.. to set an example for the States..
Trump is the Crony Capitalists Anti-Cruz Missile..
His whole reason for even running is to STOP Ted Cruz from FLUSHING crony capitalism in the federal government..
AND investigating it in the States.. dealings with the federal gov’t..
Trump is a “ringer”.. fools a lot.. presently..
But pray he gets EXPOSED... may happen too..
Building an impenetrable barrier, even where it's not especially needed, sends an awesome message as well.
Building an impenetrable barrier where it is needed, keeps invaders out and, sends an awesome message.
Combining an daunting physical barrier with high tech countermeasures sends a Trumptastically, awesomely yuge message.
Yep. And we are not talking about a fence.
We are talking a big F...ing WALL, with a capital W!
Israel built one separating them from the Palestinian state and it seems to be very very effective.
Wonder why theirs works so well and ours would not.
That wall works quite well.
Mark Levin supports what Trump is saying and doing.
I’ll take Levin’s word over the naysayers, around here.
A wall and deportation for all of them, e-verify, heavy fines on employers hiring illegals, end of birthright citizenship for children with illegal parents, and all the rest.
Trump has the endorsement of the best US Senator on this issue and he has a comprehensive plan to get the job done. He also has the fortitude to get it done.
Sarah’s always been my number one. Whatever she says is good with me.
What makes me SMH is the selective enforcement of the 14th through the years. Section 3 states that no person that participated in insurrection against the US can participate in any government or military position, yet there were 49 general officers of the CSA that participated in various offices of government or the military in the years after the War Between the States. Perhaps two of the most prominent were Generals Longstreet and Wheeler.
The 15th was also not enforced for almost a century.
Levin's point that an illegal is not under the jurisdiction of our government is totally valid. If the illegal gave himself over to US jurisdiction he would be detained and deported back to the country that does have valid jurisdiction.
Words mean something.
The amendment does not state: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
It instead states:"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
Even a SCJ should have been able to understand the meaning.
How can Sarah be happy about Trump running? She is conservative?
Trump is a celebutard fool
I would never in a trillion years vote for Trump.
