Palin: Then let's keep it, then, then we won't complicate it any more. Let's keep it simple. And let's say no that if you are here illegally, if you don't follow the steps that at some point in immigration reform that we are going to be able to provide that will allow you somehow to be able to work - if you are not going to do that, then you will be deported. You will be gone.
She's talking about providing some steps for illegals to follow in some future immigration reform - to be able to work. That is just one more form of amnesty.
Sarah does not want to state a clear position on what to do with the illegals already here. And she's not the only one dancing around that issue. But her most ardent supporters need to stop claiming that she has been clear on immigration issues because she has not.
And I'm not being overly critical of her. I keep hoping she will state a clear position. If she would, I'd consider her my first choice at this point. But she has not yet stated a clear position. Maybe she will next year during debates, if she in fact becomes a candidate.
She got stuck with McCain’s position in 2008. Palin will have to clarify her position for 2012 if she runs, but all her recent statements indicate a serious intent to control the border and not reward illegal behavior. It’s tone as well as words. Words have meaning, so does tone and it’s worth listening to the O’Reilly interview as well as reading it. After the 2010 elections I trust that Palin is with “us” (being Americans that believe in our founding principles and regular middle class people). No way she secretly desires to swamp us with Mexican immigrants . . . and she straight out says that Reagan made a mistake with amnesty.
