Palin Parrots Amnesty
So much for any hope that Sarah Palin would bring a good dose of traditional conservatism to the McCain ticket. Or that McCain would have learned something from his "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" disaster. Nope.
If we won't enforce our laws, and we clearly won't enforce our borders, why should potential illegal aliens pay any attention to what we say anyway?
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she supports John McCain's position on immigration, including a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.So, let's see. People have to follow the rules, unless they decide not to, in which case we will cluck our tongues and then let them get away with it anyway. This is the new definition of conservatism.
It's the first time she's addressed the issue in depth, and her views are likely to shape her chances of leading the Republican Party should McCain fail to win the White House nect month.
She said she agrees with McCain, who fought most of his party in trying to legalize most illegal immigrants.
"John McCain has been so clear with his policy and it makes a lot of sense too. We secure our borders first. But then with a comprehensive approach we must deal humanely with those who are here, and we must allow the steps to be taken to protect the families of those who are here, maybe as illegal immigrants today," she told Univision's "Al Punto" Sunday political talk show in an interview aired this weekend.
She said she doesn't support "amnesty" because those here illegally should be shuttled to the back of the line for services.
"Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. They've got to follow the law, 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."
If we won't enforce our laws, and we clearly won't enforce our borders, why should potential illegal aliens pay any attention to what we say anyway?

The money shot:
"We secure our borders first"
There is only one way to "secure our borders first", and that is to build a BIG WALL, preferably out of concrete. If its good enough for Israel, then its good enough for us. Then we can talk about what to do with the illegals already here "humanely". With no wall in place---staffed by about 3,000 troops -permanently-, we really have no deterrent from stopping further illegal immigration. We are in a sinking ship here talking about what to do while nobody is willing to plug the leak--because the elite don't want it plugged. Its amazing how powerful the elite class is in this nation. They are getting away with altering the demography permanently.
McCain frankly deserves to lose. He only got 30% of the primary vote and would never have won the primary if Huckabee didn't get so many votes early on. McCain benefited from the field being so populated with other candidates that no one else could get any traction, and the fact that the MSM did all it could to get him the nomination. He's as big a RINO as there is in the Senate (and that is saying something!). He is a poster child for what is wrong with the "conservative" GOP. Frankly its hard to tell which of the two candidates would be worse for America in the long run from my parts.
