How long have you been watching presidential politics? The VP candidate ALWAYS toes the line for the presidential candidate, and is their spokesman on the campaign trail. They can't say anything that contradicts the boss, or they do instantaneous, and significant damage to the confidence of voters and the credibility of the ticket.
Read up on what Palin has said about illegal immigration since being emancipated from McCain.
As governor, how do you deal with them? Do you think they all should be deported? 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.
Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 or 13 million undocumented immigrants?
No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. They've got to follow the bar, and we have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides.
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.
Understand, I don't care about her answer, just the fact she will have to explain the change and I guess your saying she will say "Look I didn't really believe that, I was touting the line of the ticket"
We'll see if that is acceptable or if it will be something people will say "oh she's really more like the rest on that subject so what other reason should I vote for her"
