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. "
The entire interview is at the link. You'll read that Palin plays the Fred Thompson wordgames by saying she objects only to "total" amnesty (he said "blanket" amnesty).
However, she makes it clear that she supports a "path to citizenship" for the rest. You'll also read she makes mention of the usual RHINO straw man about not being able to round up 12 million aliens blah, blah, blah.

Was she doing that to prevent the MSM chant of "schism within a divided ticket" which would have followed ANY deviation from Juan McCain's line?
Learn to think for a change, rather than repeating other people's talking points.
Cheers!

You seemed to leave out an important part of her quote
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.
