Governor Palin's Plan for Illegal Aliens (vanity)
07/09/2010 | sinanju

Posted on 07/09/2010 8:33:42 PM PDT by sinanju

My opinion of Sarah just took a dent. She was on Bill O'Reilly's show and he quizzed her about her opinion, in his overbearing fashion, on how to deal with the illegal alien problem.

I'm afraid it seemed instantly obvious that either she has not spent five minutes looking into the issue and talking to people who actually know something about the problem or she has and is keeping her real plans secret a la Chris Christie.

She did not bring up any specifics or actual ideas and plans and basically let Blowhard Bill lead her around by the nose for seven minutes. They then concluded with some meaningless cheery sentiments about the mama grizzlies and concluded. BOR moved on.

I realize she is busy building up chits playing kingmaker and tweeting and all that but I would like to at least see and hear some evidence that she is doing some serious policy formulation and (if she does run for prez) will have a battle plan on day one.

Appearing on Bill's show for barely enough time to smile and chirp for less than ten minutes is decidedly discouraging to people like myself, who desperately want to take her seriously.

"So you've closed the borders, now you have ten million people sitting here looking at you, what are you going to do about them?" "Make them register?"

"Well, I, uh.."

She should not have set herself up like that. Bill barely gave her enough time to recite the Pledge of Allegiance but she could have gotten her message across if she had had a message.

Not good.

I just noticed the transcript in post #102.

O’REILLY: Now we have 12 million people staring at you. And you say to those people you’re in here illegally. You broke civil law by coming in here. Now are you going to deport them? What are you going to do?

PALIN: Well, again, first, let me go back to the importance of securing the border. They’re talking about amnesty


Palin's comment here is where she gets herself into trouble with this issue. She should have immediately stated strictly enforcing existing federal immigration laws would result in many illegals leaving the country voluntarily and back up her claim with the examples of illegals leaving Oklahoma voluntarily after they passed their own immigration laws in 2008 and she should have also remarked how illegals are doing the same since Arizona passed SB1070.

I have noticed many politicians harp on securing the borders first as if that can't be done concurrently with deporting illegals. That couldn't be further from the truth.

O’REILLY: So no amnesty—

PALIN: —we can trust you. No, no amnesty.

O’REILLY: But what do you do with these folks?

PALIN: Which means—

O’REILLY: Do you make them register with the federal government? Do you tell them they have 60 days to get out of here before we put you in jail? What do you do with them?

PALIN: Do we make them register with the federal government? Yes, we do.


This is more double speak by Palin. Do illegals register before or after they leave the country via deportation or voluntarily? If it is the former then that allows them to remain in the country which is amnesty. The latter is already being done by requiring foreigners to register through U.S. embassy's and consulates to enter the U.S.

O’REILLY: And if they don’t register with the — say you gave them 60 days to register with the federal government. There’s a form at the post office they have to send in like a Census form. All right, say they didn’t do it.

PALIN: You deport them.


Deport them after 60 days? That's not what current federal immigration laws state. This is amnesty and Palin is being disingenuous for trying to frame this any other way.

She is too stupid to come up with any specifics. She is the Obama of the right. Big rhetoric and platitudes.

Are you happy? You seem to be. What scares you the most? What scares you the least? What drives you to go ahead and say who you support? Is there a reason? It's not that hard.

If it is the former [registration] then that allows them to remain in the country which is amnesty.

Well, not "total" amnesty. They have to register, after all.

Sigh.

I do not know yet, this is a tough call. I am leaning between non existing candidate # 7 and non existing candidate # 10. I shall reflect on this very important decision in the coming weeks and let you know :)
