Really? Maybe you can provide me/us with a link that proves this claim. Thanks
Univision - Interview with Sarah Palin October 26, 2008
Q: Should undocumented immigrants all be deported?
A: 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.
Q: Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 million undocumented immigrants?
A: No, I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. 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.
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.
There are other links including her conversation with Lars Larson. The bottom line is that she supports allowing them to stay and work here if they "play by the rules."
I like Sarah Palin, but she is wrong on this issue. The proponents of amnesty are wont to create the false choice between mass deportation and a blanket amnesty. We have other alternatives. Attrition thru enforcement works.
