Interview with Sarah Palin Immigration, latino vote, Irak, Obama (Univision)

Univision.com ^ | 22 October 08 | Jorge Ramos

[TADSLOS]

...Governor, let me ask you about immigration. How many undocumented immigrants are there in Alaska?

I don't know, I don't know. That's a good question.

As governor, how do you deal with them? Do you think they all should be deported?

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 that we face with illegal immigration.

Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 or 13 million undocumented immigrants?

No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. They've got to follow the bar, and 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.

To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?

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.

And the last question would be about politics. You only have two more weeks left...

Yes

What is your strategy? How are you planning to win the latino vote?

I will tell you, I wish that there were more hours in the day so that we can get out there and to more of the communities with such the strong Latino vote that is out there and really tell them that we desire to work for them. We are asking them to hire us and let us work for them.

Thank you so much. It would be impossible to ask you to say a few words in Spanish, right?

Oh my good-well, I don't want to embarrass myself, but … but gracias and I do thank you so much for this opportunity. I appreciate it.

Thank you, muchas gracias, thank you.

The “party” line.

“Sarah did not do this interview...FALSO”

???

It appears to be legit. It is on the univison site.

[gubamyster]

ping

[ruination]

I'm not an immigration hardliner and have supported comprehensive reform.

...to put it mildly. You're an out-and-out illegal alien backer and apologist.

[roamer_1]

AMnesty ping

Well, well, well. That about tears it, don't it though? Things are starting to add up into a package that is a wee bit less conservative than Fred Thompson, even...

Lemme see, now... Avid Christian that would not stand in the way of gay government employee's significant others being insured...

No-nonsense tax cutter who, wherever she has gone, has left higher taxes in her wake...

Strict "conservative" "libertarian" who stands for taxing oil companies and redistributing their wealth as a payment to every citizen of the state of Alaska.

An expose-the-corruption, stop-the-spending "maverick" who was all for the bailout...

And now, A Gonna-swear-to-protect-the-Constitution Law and order moose-shooter who is singing the praises of amnesty.

I am certain there will be McCainiacs downthread who will be telling us how these are all good things, and that this is what we want to vote for...

*shakes head* How ANYONE can support this crap over Keyes, or even the Libertarians, I will never understand.

EPIC FAIL.

[roamer_1]

If you think 4 years of Marxist Obama will cause some people to turn conservative for the 2012 election, Flash! there won’t be a next election.

If you think McCain with a Democrat Congress to give him what he wants with amnesty in the first two years in office is going to help anything at all either, even by the 2010 elections, Flash! The 2010 elections won't matter, because the Dems will overrun all the Republican strongholds with newly minted socialist Latinos. By 2012 the Republicans will be ~gone~. Mark my words: Your (y'all) support of these RINOs instead of principle seals our doom.

[roamer_1]

The “party” line.

It appears they believe "the party line" begins just south of the border and is queuing to head northward... I think they are very much in error.

[Razz Barry]

No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. They've got to follow the bar, and 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.

Would those "services" be socialist programs? I'm so tired of hypocrites.

[TADSLOS]

Bite me A$$clown.

[TADSLOS]

Yep. Sarah memorized the McCain script and swigged down some of his koolaid for good measure.

[ovrtaxt]

those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides.

Sounds to me like she's for decreasing the welfare incentive for people to invade. I wonder how she feels about prosecuting employers who hire illegals, and reversing the anchor baby policy.

That would pretty much spark a mass voluntary exodus from the US. No freebies and dinero, no reason to be here.

What does it all matter anyway. The media picks our candidates, they’ll do her in. At this point it’s all just a sideshow for me.

Can't argue with you there.

[TADSLOS]

You don't fight wars with your Commander during the war

You assume I consider him my commander. Wrong.

Immigration has not played a role in this election so a flip flop will not be an issue.

No, but it should and would if we had a conservative running for POTUS.

She has to say what she has to say for now just win the election.

Really? That's an interesting rationalization for someone posting on a conservative forum. That kind of comment used to be reserved for liberals. I guess it's a brave new world of republicanism.

Are Conservatives so easily divided.

Just the ones divided from the liberal republicans

If so then McCain is in more trouble than anyone ever thought.

Why yes, I do believe he is.

Man your ships and fight.

Your ship isn't seaworthy.

[TADSLOS]

Immigration hardliners consider path to citizenship to be amnesty. Just like they consider touchback to be amnesty. Just like they consider Bush's amnesty to guest worker to be amnesty

Actions speak louder than words. Put up or shut up. Politicians, bureaucrats and business lobbyists have been kicking this can down the road for decades, hoping that Americans will just calm down, sit down and shut up. But don't let that distract you from cruising the Home Depot for some slave labor.

[wiseprince]

So your world view is Liberal Republicans Ban

Liberal Democrats better

Interesting ideology.

It’s interesting that I am considered Liberal when you would prefer an Obama Presidency so you can sit up on your righteous pedestal and say “Told you so”.

Contrary to how you see me I do not see you as the enemy so I will end this argument for another time. I have another post that will tell you where I stand on the issue (It’s not as Liberal as you might think). I just think it’s better to reserve fire until Obama has been defeated. Believe me, I’m all for taking McCain down a notch once he’s President. I don’t know if anyone would be as enthused about that as I would be. Timing is everything though

[TADSLOS]

Single issue? LOL! Illegal immigration is embedded in almost every single issue being presented in this race.

[TADSLOS]

I wonder how she feels about prosecuting employers who hire illegals, and reversing the anchor baby policy.

That would pretty much spark a mass voluntary exodus from the US. No freebies and dinero, no reason to be here.

Works for me.

[TADSLOS]

So your world view is Liberal Republicans Ban

Interesting false projection. Liberal republicans can operate as they see fit, and I reserve the right to object to their liberal agenda. As soon as they claim conservatism as their standard to march under, I'll be there to call bulls**t, and right now liberal republican operatives are championing a grand master liberal bulls**t artist for POTUS while wrapping themselves in the wool blanket of conservatism.

[pissant]

My only goal now is to see to it that the marxist is exposed as a crooked marxist.

If McCain wins because Obama is exposed, fine.

But we will be as busy fighting McCain and his reaching across the aisle as we will be fighting the marxist if he gets in office.

Rough waters ahead, and the VP won’t make a lick of difference.
