Not only is she right, but she’s saying what very few supposedly conservative pundits or pols (where’s Sarah Palin been on this issue?) are saying in any way, shape or matter.MyFoxPhoenix.com
Palin, Brewer talk immigration reform
The gang of eight is expected to present a complex immigration plan next week.Will the American people support it?
"If they first will make sure the borders are secure then I think American public will be open to hearing what bureaucratic regulatory solutions are, but first and foremost is securing the border," said Palin.
This week immigrants living in this country illegally will likely find out what they need to do to become U.S. citizens. Lawmakers are days away from announcing details of the most sweeping immigration reform bill this country's seen in a quarter century."There needs to be truth in this issue. The American public can't keep being told that the border is as secure as ever or more secure than ever when that is not true," said Palin.
Brewer and Palin said they are anxious to see exactly what lawmakers in Washington have come up in regards to immigration reform.
The bill is expected to include details of a guest worker program as well as a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants living in the United States illegally. The proposal will also outline steps the federal government needs to take to secure the border. Both women agreed the border needs to be secured before any talk of amnesty.
Right. When directly asked she defaulted to what McCain was spouting a couple of years ago: “Border security first, then we can talk about next steps”—which is simply slow amnesty.
But with months of the Gang of Eight preparing to ram this through in Obamacare style (force a vote before anyone can actually read, let alone mobilize people against the actual verbiage in it), Gov. Palin’s been silent. Meanwhile, she’s been Tweeting and Facebooking up a storm on other issues that will all be lost causes once 30 million-plus illegals start voting.
I like Palin, but she’s been AWOL on this issue, which is the single greatest current threat to this country and conservatism.
