Palin ran with John McCain in 2008. McCain is the biggest amnesty freak on the GOP side. Remember the McCain-Kennedy comprehensive immigration reform bill that included blanket amnesty? Eventually it was killed off.
Sarah Palin had a Q&A/interview with Univision's Jorge Ramos on Oct 26 2008:
Q: So you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
A: 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.
She also added that she is against ILLEGAL immigration and that non-citizens need to get in line and got through the legal process.
