Palin supports a path to citizenship for illegals who are here. She said so herself. Does she want them to stay and be denied an education? Palin is not the Governor of a border state, and I doubt this in-state tuition is an issue in AK.

We have in-state tuition for illegals in KS. I opposed the bill. However, I don’t expect a candidate to agree with me on everything. In-state tuition is a state issue not a federal issue anyway. I want the feds to close down the border, same as Perry and Palin.

I’d like to see her debunk this in a debate where she’s the leader and 6 or 7 are shooting at her. That may be the reason she’s not in these debates.

I didn’t think it possible that Perry’s supporters would make an even weaker case for him than he did for himself last week.

Why aren’t you posting his direct quotes, with citations, from, say, here?

That said, I don’t think Perry’s position of border security and what to do with the illegals already here is any different than Sarah Palin’s.

I don't care who endorsed what -- the policy ought to be unemployability (no SSAN, no work visa, etc., = no hire), employer sanctions enforced, and repatriation for illegals who won't take the hint and go home voluntarily.

Arizona's law has gotten good results on voluntary returns, and the slack hiring in several States has also moved lots of aliens to return home.

What will it take to get you Perry supporters to snap to? A mushroom cloud? Riots and civil war? What?

How will Rick Perry advance the conservative cause?

Umm by suing the EPA and the federal Gov over Their BS Regulations on Coal fired Electric plants and their BS moratorium on gulf drilling?

By sending the feds notice that they are responsible for the border issue and requesting boots on the ground?

By sending the same asshats a bill for illegals sitting in Texas Jail?

Nobody, has poked their finger in Obamas chest harder than Rick Perry. He was the first guy to stand up and say BS!

Those candidates CHOOSE to play the left's game. They KNOW the left and let them control them anyway. Maybe THEY aren't too bright.

Palin HAS been in debates. And she won them.

Debates didn't even exist until Kennedy vs Nixon. Johnson chose NOT to debate Goldwater. Johnson knew he'd lose. Maybe the current crop should get a clue.

Is there a process by which illegal aliens can work on gaining citizenship?

To a group of Hispanics while running as the second on the ticket.

She has since joined Jan Brewer on immigration.

This thread is about Perry.

I HAVE a heart....for AMERICANS.

TWICE Perry has played the emotion card. It's a lefty trick and it STINKS.

I am certain there is, and that would be a FEDERAL MATTER.

“We need a real conservative as our nominee. One who will be elected in a landslide and have the necessary coattails to gain control of the Senate and build a much larger majority in the House. “

No kidding — and who do you suppose can do that, aside from Rick Perry?

Yes, I know you are dreaming of Sarah. Some day you’ll wake up and all the rest of us can tell you “we told you so”, but that won’t help any of us, because you and people detached from reality as you are will give us Obama for four more years.

This same detachment from reality of “waiting for Fred” split the conservative vote and gave us McCain, hence Obama.

As I said before, if not Perry, it’s Romney, if Romney, it’s Obama.

Palin won’t run, if she runs she will just help Romney get the nomination, by splitting the conservative vote, and if Romney, it’s Obama.

[Article] Maybe Mitt Romney doesn't realize that many children of illegal aliens aren't illegals themselves. And as long as birth-rite citizenship is the law, anchor babies are protected under the law with equal benefits to all other American citizens.

If we can't break the anchor, then maybe we need to break the chain. This chain-immigration stuff has got to stop. We're going to end up majority-Chinese if this doesn't stop now, and those people are the biggest racists and people-squashers on the face of the earth.

You may be right about the necessity of debates. Palin would have a very difficult time wiggling out of her position on amnesty for illegals if she were subjected to the exact same kind of grilling given to Perry on this issue. I see NO difference and she may be even more lax on the issue than Perry.

There is no direct quote from Palin. It is paraphrased.

Where are her statements supporting Arizona? Hm?

Nice try. But this thread is about PERRY. Deflection will not save him.

Americans are fed up. And he blew it!

The day Sarah says things like: “It doesn’t matter what the sound of your last name is.”...or.... "Those opposed to subsidies and rewards for illegal aliens are heartless". ...you be sure and let me know....wontcha?

That process would be called Amnesty.

And you and Rick Perry support Amnesty for illegal aliens.

It is about all the candidates and it was shown as a quote.
