Nice sound bite, but let's see how the rubber meets the road. Two parts--How does she recommend we get them out? The millions that are already here, that is. And then, also, how does she plan on protecting the border. Without an actual proposal on accomplishing the idea, it's just talk.
I agree. And a proposal can be derided as nothing more than talk, so let's see what she will actually do in office.
Palin for President.
Then we can critique he ideas for real.
We already deport a few...very few. But if we up the heat just a little then many more will leave of their own accord.
Ay, there's the rub. Nobody ever seems to have a solution for this.
The government will do it the same way Obama, Pelosi and Reid will fine and imprison 15 million Americans who will not buy Health Insurance... Proving once again government always finds away to do something if they really want to....
How do you recommend we get them out?
“Nice sound bite, but let’s see how the rubber meets the road. Two parts—How does she recommend we get them out? “
I haven’t listened to the clip yet, but you make a good point. I hope she’s more specific, because to date she has stated she’s against deportation....and workplace enforcement. I’m surprised Lars didn’t pin her down more on that. She also stated in Oct. she was not for ‘amnesty’, but a ‘pathway to citizenship’. More doublespeak.
” Univision: As governor, how do you deal with them? Do you think they all should be deported? Sarah Palin: 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 that we face with illegal immigration.
Univision: Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 or 13 million undocumented immigrants? Sarah Palin: No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. They’ve got to follow the bar, and 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.
Univision: To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants? Sarah Palin: 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.
Univision: Would you support stopping these raids until comprehensive immigration reform could be passed in Congress?”
Palin: “Well, the unfortunate thing of course about the raids is that it does affect the families involved here. Parents and children are separated and that’s tragic.”

Oh come on.
People have been wondering whether Sarah is for amnesty and Sarah simply gave her answer that she wasn't. But that doesn't stop you from criticizing her saying that "it's just talk".
And of course we need to next find out her position on border and interior enforcement.
>> Without an actual proposal on accomplishing the idea, it’s just talk.
The “what” must precede the “how”.
It was a white wash...The interview was approximately 19 minutes long, and she spent approximately 15 seconds on the issue.
A sham at best.
No sale.
