Interview with Sarah Palin (Palin *NOT* for Amnesty)
Univision ^ | October 26, 2008 | Univision

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.

It’s not an accident when a poster types in a title instead of using the title of the article.
Opinion is not activism.
See this:

vanity
That is the opinion section.
This became an opinion post when you altered the title.
Follow the rules next time.

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.

It’s pretty simple I ratched 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 agressive about cracking down on the illegal aliens and we take it serious what our border patrol officers are trying to do

December 2009
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.

SoCalPol--

Sarah *didn't* say "close the borders," I think that that's your own projection of her words. "Secure the borders" is a term that's been used as a substitute, a sop, for immigration enforcement, I heard that term in 2008 at our state party convention from Senator Susan Collins, an open-borders lobbyist.

Everything that Sarah said is totally consistent with the terminology of Bush, McCain, and the other amnesty/open-borders people. Saying she is against "amnesty" is meaningless, McCain said he was against amnesty.

And you notice that Sarah didn't answer Lar's question:"The amnesty proposal that was defeated in Congress — in your view, was that amnesty for illegals..."

That was the key question which would have told us on which side of the fence (so to speak) she was on. And she evaded that question.

And she has no record before she was chosen by McCain on immigration enforcement. Alaska was "sanctuary state" and gave drivers licenses to illegals, she wasn't responsible for that but she did little to change those policies.

The weaselly, open to interpretation statements she has made since the election (that I've seen) and the her support for "a path to citizenship" (statements on this thread that this doesn't *have* to mean amnesty, in the context of the immigration debate, that is exactly what it means) during the campaign, means that those who are concerned about immigration, mass third-world immigration, should be very worried about Sarah on this issue.

Perhaps you saw Glen Beck on Jay Leno, Jay asked what Glen thought of Sarah, Glen said (my recollection of his words): "I like her. But I need to learn more."

I think that what a lot of us think.

Ask Jim Rob, activism is opinion. Please tell me the difference. I posted a politician with a leftist view that contradicts our rightward view.

Speaking of Jim Robinson, why don't you ask him his opinion of Sarah Pailin, whom you're describing as a "politician with a leftist view that contradicts our rightward view"?

It is even more amusing to get any lip from a born liar and a thief.

LOL! I expect I will be ridiculed for the person I would prefer, since it’s what most everyone on this thread seems to be here for.

That is a lie, no one is stalking you, for instance I was on this thread before you jumped on.

You cannot expect to run your party’s operation by showing up on every Palin thread and not see familiar conservative freepers showing up on almost all of those threads.

You cannot expect to keep attacking Palin on the Palin threads and not have people repeatedly answering your attacks, of course in your case that also involves identifying who you work for as a professional political hack and why you are attacking her.

but didn’t say what ‘kind’ she was in favor of.”

Probably something realistic.

When your candidate comes out and says” Illegals should be deported” and I know he will because I know you will demand it of him, he will lose with two votes, yours and his.

I’ve been involved in the border security movement since before there was a public movement. Of course I’m going to post to threads like this one. We’re about to get hammered with another attempt at amnesty, and the weak McCain Republicans aren’t on our side. They must be combated politically if we are to survive as a free republic. Sorry you’ve never noticed.

No, I wouldn’t, since you’re not making any sense.

Keyes has never won an election and never will.
He borders on psychotic. He is the poster guy for OCDs

I’m outta here. Nothing left to say.

So, you are admittedly the national chairman of a political party which will likely run a candidate for president in 2012 - one who will very likely oppose Sarah Palin (who is the subject of this thread, and a person who is very likely to run in that race), yet you (until now) haven't thought it proper to recuse yourself from this discussion.

On top of that, when you were challenged on your conflict of interest in this discussion, you brushed aside all criticism and honest inquiry as some sort of nuisance.

I must admit that after reading this thread from post #1, to this, that I am ashamed and disappointed in what you've done here tonight. I expect much better from conservatives, and long-tenured Freepers.

Full disclosure: I fully support Governor Sarah Palin, and do not believe for a second that she supports giving amnesty to the millions of illegal immigrants in our country. She has said so, and I take her at her word. So far, she has never lied to me.

Sorry, but my main point on this thread is that a “pathway to citizenship” is nothing but McCain-speak for amnesty. And that is not “garbage.” It’s a fact.

It is also pretty weird for someone to be calling someone from 2008 a “newby”, are you feeling a little insecure?

One thing that I will say about your work for Alan Keyes as his Chairman, you sure don’t work to make him any friends.
