One day after the Senate passed its immigration reform bill, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin warned the House on Friday to not betray working class Americans by passing a bill that will lower wages and raise unemployment without securing the borders.
"Now we turn to watch the House. If they bless this new 'bi-partisan' hyper-partisan devastating plan for amnesty, we’ll know that both private political parties have finally turned their backs on us," Palin wrote in a Facebook post that also urged Americans to read the Breitbart News piece that detailed the importance of the working class vote. "It will then be time to show our parties’ hierarchies what we think of being members of either one of these out-of-touch, arrogant, and dysfunctional political machines."
Palin called the "amnesty bill the Senate passed yesterday" a "sad betrayal of working class Americans of every ethnicity who will see their wages lowered and their upward mobility" as well.
"And yet we still do not have a secured border," she said. "This Senate-approved amnesty bill rewards lawbreakers and won’t solve any problems--as the CBO report notes that millions of more illegal immigrants will continue to flood the U.S. in coming years."
Palin said independent-minded conservatives like her are "barely hanging on to our enlistment papers in any political party" because the "flip-flopping political actions like amnesty force us to ask how much more bull from both the elephants in the Republican Party and the jackasses in the Democrat Party we have to swallow before these political machines totally abandon the average commonsense hardworking American."
Palin has signaled in recent weeks that she is not going to allow Washington politicians to betray America's working class, especially if they specifically campaigned to put border security first and vote against amnesty.

You’re right.
No to the Government and their bureaucracy, No to the Corporations and their Whorish Business practices!!!
This isn't Jobs, Immigration or the Law.
This Debate is about POWER!!!!!!
Sarah is standing up for the Working Man.
Suck on that Democrats and GOP, We Ain't playing your Corportsit Scheme!
“I love how she uses expresions such as *working people*.”
This is an issue that can cut across many constituencies if played correctly. The GOP corporatists also need to be outmaneuvered.
Sunlight needs to be shown on the disastrous Senate bill provisions
Hmmm.
Trey Gowdy going after Graham.
Gowdy is clearly a bulldog prosecutor type. Graham wouldn’t be able to cross-examine him the way he’s done others.
Everyone’s act wears thin. Graham had a lot of trouble the last time he pushed amnesty, but the failed vote saved him.
Now he has to wear the crime. Gowdy could pin it on him.
...”we’ll know that both private political parties”...
Very astute turn of phrase. She’s a leader I’ll follow into the Freedom Party even if we split the vote as ended up not mattering in the last election. I did vote for McCain and Romney but it was difficult. Voting the Freedom way I’ll at least get some satisfaction out of my vote.
Right.
I agree with you.
Yes I’ve read it and have two hard copies. Suppose I shouldn’t say that but they already know. You’re right on.
Where’s Henry when we need him?
No, she is our own uniquely American stateswoman. She has no peers or precedents. Mamma Grizzly!
The moves for a third party have to happen BEFORE the House passes anything to do with immigration, or they will never believe the backlash would be for real.
If Sarah starts a third party, I’m in.
If the House passes Amnesty, I will no longer vote for any Republican, period. I will write in my Dad's name and be done with it. This is not an emotional decision, but one I made a long time ago and nothing since has changed my mind.
If the House passes amnesty, then I hope every Republican down to dog catcher goes down to defeat. I just don't care anymore.
Me too...I love her. I am not a gushing type of person, but Sarah has more guts than the entire Republican party put together. She is a leader in a leaderless, lifeless party.
Eating like a pig and watching TV.
Asian Americans support gun control more than whites.
Hmong and Filipinos are Democrats.
North Asians are only half or so of Asian Americans.
Also Asians are more likely to support Authoritarian laws. Look at the laws in parts of Asia that have huge support.
If you have an Asian sector of San Fransisco that has gun bans and authoritarian laws a lot of Asians will support that.
The only thing that may not supported for Asians is the welfare state to blacks and hispanics.
