PALIN: we need to close the borders.
They are called illegal aliens for a reason and if they are not going to follow the rules they should not be in our country. Its pretty simple I ratcheted that one down to the simple answer because its an easier answer than some politicians want it to make it be.
You close the borders. You get more aggressive about cracking down on the illegal aliens and we take it serious what our border patrol officers are trying to do

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, Im not for amnesty. Lets ratchet this down quite simply to remember what were 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 theyre not going to follow the rules, they need to get out.

Do you even read what you post? No where in those comments does she dispute what she said about supporting a path to citizenship for illegals who are already here.
"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."
If she directly contradicts the previous statement, then she flipped flopped, plain and simple.
No amnesty, no path to citizenship, no nuance.
