“Palin: The immigrants, of course, built this country. And ..... I think we need to recognize that again, immigrants built this great country”
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. NO, IMMIGRANTS did NOT build this country! There were 4 or 5 ‘immigrants’ who were founding fathers. American citizens built it and fought for it FAR more than ‘immigrants’ever did. Sarah needs a history lesson.
And THOSE immigrants wanted freedom, not to be coddled from cradle to grave like the current ones.
And before someone posts the LARs Larson interview, where he led her anyway he could away from amnesty, she STILL stated “ not allow this generous amnesty that the Democrats are proposing.”......what kind, Sarah, the John McCAin kind of amnesty??
And for ‘legal immigration’. Evidently she doesn’t have a clue how many come in ‘legally’...with the visas, etc, it’s well over 4 million a year. How many does she think we should take in??? And from where??? Fairbanks, Alaska is even trying to deal with their gang problem!
Makes you wonder what she actually does read.
Survey to determine scope of Fairbanks gang problem (Fairbanks, AK): Fairbanks leaders will conduct a citywide survey later this month to determine the extent of local gang activity.

Palin is spreading her political capital too thin attempting to show loyalty to the same lame crowd of non-conservative republicans in office. A dumb move, considering how the incumbent political class are finally being challenged via tea party protests by the very people who revere her the most.
A very dishonest statement. One of my ancestors that fought in the Revolution came here in 1738. He was a BRITISH SUBJECT. There were NO Americans yet.

Lars Larson radio talk show
LARS: The amnesty proposal that was defeated in Congress — in your view, was that amnesty for illegals and would you back amnesty for a path to citizenship, as the current president calls it?
SARAH PALIN: No, I’m not for amnesty. Let’s ratchet this down quite simply to remember what we’re referring to. Illegal aliens are called “illegal” for a reason.
We need to secure our borders and I am not for amnesty. And there are humane ways to deal with the 11-13 million illegal aliens who are in our country right now, but if they’re not going to follow the rules, they need to get out.
“Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. NO, IMMIGRANTS did NOT...”
AuntB, you’re either shoveling a whole lot of revisionist BS, or you’re sorely lacking in our early American history dept.
The Native Americans didn’t built this country, though they were certainly a part of it. Following the Mayflower Compact, and other immigrants from Europe, our countries early history began to take shape.
