“to me it sounds like Palin is against illegals and for deporting them as I am.”

You only hear what you want to hear. And all your ‘swell Lincoln research’ won’t change what SHE says. Do you think so little of her that you can’t hear her own words?

According to Palin, DEPORTATION is INHUMANE.

PALIN: “. We - our policy - John McCain has been so clear with his policy and it makes a lot of sense too. We secure our borders first. But then with a comprehensive approach we must deal humanely with those who are here, and we must allow the steps to be taken to protect the families of those who are here, maybe as illegal immigrants today.....”

UNIVISION: “Talking about - still with immigration - ICE has arrested and deported almost five thousand undocumented immigrants in the last year, separated many Hispanic families. Would you support stopping these raids until comprehensive immigration reform could be passed in Congress?”

Palin: “Well, the unfortunate thing of course about the raids is that it does affect the families involved here. Parents and children are separated and that’s tragic.” (No, that is by choice of the alien, Sarah - they can take their kids and we pay for it!)

“Univision: To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
Sarah Palin: I do because I understand why people would want to be in America.”
Univision: As governor, how do you deal with them? Do you think they all should be deported?
Sarah Palin: 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.”

Wow. Sarah’s words are all McCain talking points.

I still like Sarah, but she’s turning to the dark side. She’s slowly warming to the notion that, somehow, law-abiding Americans are second-class citizens to law-breakers. What a shame.

I guess that settles that. There is her position on Amnesty.

Univision: As governor, how do you deal with them? Do you think they all should be deported?

Mass deportation, "rounding them all up," is a false premise. Those who oppose a "path to citizenship" for illegal aliens do not, for the most part, propose mass deportation as a solution. She is using the John McCain/La Raza/hispanic caucus straw-man argument. The solution is much more simple and it is practically and economically sound.

Do that and they will deport themselves quickly at their own expense. No jobs no motivation to be here. We don't have to offer a path to citizenship for illegal aliens at all.

We need a candidate that will support that and articulate it.
