Worn out "straw man" used by OBL Rhino's ... "we can't round up 12 million and deport them ALL" [as if anyone is suggesting it, but then they avoid discussing attrition through enforcement!]

Perhaps not a "straw man", but my favorite red flag is the one used by Fred Thompson, who opposes "blanket" amnesty and Sarah Palin who opposes "total" amnesty. How many WILL get amnesty????

I'll get the usual STFU's from the Palin fans, but this is the EXACT type of RED FLAG conversation to watch out for:

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

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

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

PALIN: 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.

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

PALIN: 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.

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

PALIN: 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.

It’s time Palin clarifies her position on Amnesty/illegal aliens. If she’s another open border Rino, we need to know it now.

A must read!

I spoke to one of Palin’s big supporters at CPAC. I told him that Palin must move away from the McCain position on amnesty. If she doesn’t, then she will be finished as far as most conservatives are concerned. He agreed and said he was trying to arrange a trip for her to the border for a briefing.
