They are called illegal aliens for a reason and if they are not going to follow the rules they should not be in our country.

Let me translate. Follow what rules? The one's that have them pay a fine, learn English, and get to the back of the line for an earned path to citizenship? This is what she said in the Univision interview:

"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?

"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.

Notice that she said the same thing in both interviews about "following the rules." I have been dealing with Congressmen who try to play the same word games. Even McCain denies that McCain-Kennedy is an amnesty. You must parse the words and ask the right questions or the politicians will squirm out of answering. Univision pinned her down and gave her no wiggle room. I still believe that she favors amnesty. I met with some of her advisors at CPAC last year and told them that she needs to distance herself from McCain on this issue or it will be her downfall.
