Palin is parsing words. She is trying to appear against amnesty while allowing illegal aliens to remain in this country. The existing rules per the Federal Immigration and Nationality act require illegals to be deported but Palin doesn't like thos rules so she wants to ignore them. Also, what of all the thousands of foreigners waiting to enter this country legally? They suddenly would get pushed to the back of the line with Palin's approach. She couldn't be more disingenuous.

So, you would contend that it is possible and practical to expel 100% of the illegal aliens currently in the country. You would also seem to indicate that there are not illegal aliens currently in the country who for one reason or another would be more desireable as a permanent resident than the next person in line.

Apparently there are only two choices, kick everyone out or let everyone stay and if you are kicking them out, if even one gets to stay, that amounts to amnesty.

Is not deportation the penalty under the law for violating valid U.S. immigration law?

Are you advocating non-enforcement of valid U.S. law?

Oklahoma passed strict immigration laws a few years ago and many illegals left the state voluntarily knowing their fate if they remained. The federal government will not have to physically remove millions of illegals as they to will leave the country of their own accord if the federal government strictly enforced federal laws.

I'm doing more than indicate. I'm outright stating failing to strictly enforce current immigration laws sends the signal the U.S. will condone violation of the law. Anyone who enters the country illegally has no respect for the rule of law and will therefore violate other laws as they do immigration laws if they are allowed to remain.

Obviously you don't understand the basic principle of enforcing the freaking law! Why is that so hard for you to comprehend?
