She's since stated her own positions on illegal immigration, which mirror those of the American public.
Forgetting the fact that she didn't just reiterate his position in 2008 she supported it, and has not contradicted that stance to date, or that you implied that she has no principles of her own except political ambition, she made this comment on March 27, 2010:
"VAN SUSTEREN: Governor Palin, if you were vice president today, what would you be telling a President McCain about what to do about immigration, if anything?
PALIN: I support his position on immigration. It all comes down to securing the border. And he who has actually proposed some solutions, the Obama administration does not want to listen to Senator McCain or any other Republican, and that, of course, leads to a greater problem that we have in Washington, D.C. And it's that lack of the new administration's ability and enthusiasm for listening to those on the other side of the aisle who have some good solutions that they want considered."

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin said Sunday that Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) has “the cojones” that President Obama “does not have” to take on illegal immigration.
Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Palin (R) blasted Obama over the Justice Department’s lawsuit to block Arizona’s controversial new law and attacked him in particular for not addressing “sanctuary cities” — where local law enforcement is prohibited from asking people about their immigration status. Arizona’s law bans sanctuary cities.

On the first episode of “Alaska” she said we should build the fence.

Whatever it takes...no amnesty...keep it simple,” vows Palin, annointed President Palin on The Factor. In spite of Bill O’Reilly’s posited amnesty bias, in spite of overbearing interruptions, in spite of a battery of staccato questions with no chance to provide a full answer, O’Reilly failed to rattle Palin’s resolve that protecting America’s borders is a top priority, a national security issue.
Sarah Palin delivered solutions the majority of Americans support : Secure the borders, enforce the federal immigration laws, no amnesty, American citizens get first shot at American jobs, and no repeating past mistakes - whatever it takes.
What follows is the video of this riveting interview in O’Reilly’s No Spin Zone, a transcription of the clip which focused on illegal immigration, prepared by Political Buzz Examiner, Devonia Smith.

Q: So you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
SP: I do because I understand why people would want to be in America.
