I’m not liking her “immigration” comments. Illegal Immigration is one of the main factors causing our financial crisis right now. We cannot take care of everyone.

Frankly, it's only a matter of time before this forum begins to understand her immigration views are pretty much the same as John McCain's, and most likely one of the prerequisites of her selection.

This issue is critical to many of us here, especially those in the border states that have borne the brunt of lax enforcement. IMHO, it is far better that we vet these views now than several years down the road, unless we want to blow off another election.

I'm sure I'll be flamed but I don't have time to respond. Gotta get off to work now and redistribute some wealth.

I am afraid you are correct.

That having been said, I think there might be a chance to change her mind.

She has no formal experience with this problem and more than likely her position has been formed by talking to McCain.

Unlike the stubborn jackass McCain, there might be an opportunity to turn her around on this issue.

I’m afraid you may be right. I just can’t give on the amnesty issue, it’s a deal breaker to me. I see firsthand what taking care of illegals is doing to our healthcare system. Emergency rooms are closing everywhere because of this. Never gets into the news, but it’s happening.

I’m sure you are correct. Maybe it’s because she’s up in Alaska and it doesn’t affect them much. If she is as smart as people says she is and a quick learner, maybe Duncan Hunter or Tancredo needs to escort her around the lower 48 and see the damage illegals do to the economy.

You're right that it's worse for the border states, but anymore, illegals are EVERYWHERE!!!!! MY point, it's more crucial to many Americans than they think.

Furthermore, there are far too many legal immigrants getting in. We are inundated with them and EVERYWHERE also.
