News of poor conditions at a holding center in Arizona for undocumented, unaccompanied minors whipped Sarah Palin into a fury Friday -- so much so that she said she was on the verge of renouncing her ties to the Republican Party.
"Finally, they have won me over. I actually agree with the liberals war whoop," the former Republican vice presidential nominee wrote on her Facebook page. "I, too, demand that this issue of young illegal aliens flooding across our border into horrendous conditions be taken care of. Now!"
The Department of Homeland Security began flying some young migrants to Arizona after more than 48,000 unaccompanied children crossing the border into Texas overwhelmed U.S. Border Patrol. A warehouse in Nogales, Ariz. was housing 700 of them at the beginning of this week and that number was expected to double to around 1,400.
In her Facebook post, Palin cited heat, illness, unsanitary conditions and potential sexual exploitation at the holding facility as examples of "child abuse." She then railed against the GOP's unwillingness to engage in meaningful reform on issues like border security.
"As a Christian I find it unforgivable to ignore this issue of overrunning border security into these conditions in southern states, and this one issue is just about driving me to renounce my Republican ties because, see, even leaders on the RIGHT side of the aisle havent exerted all Constitutional power to stop the madness," she wrote. "A few have tried, but until theyre sent reinforcements, then atrocities like the child abuse and exploitation youre now getting wind of will only get worse."
She then accused President Barack Obama of orchestrating the "crisis" in Arizona in order to advance his own immigration reform agenda.
"In this case, Obamas refusal to enforce immigration laws and his blatant suggestion that his chosen illegal activity will be rewarded are proof of his tyrannical tactics," Palin wrote. "The recent numerous manipulated 'crises' have the media pinging and ponging trying to keep up with what is the scandal of the day, which one overshadows another, and how will they distract next, and whos on first?! Purposeful decisions causing these crises are meant to overload the system, justify abuse of executive power to 'fix' it all, and ultimately tighten control of the people."
But lest anyone thought Palin was siding with Democrats who have called for giving legal status to undocumented children, she added in a post-script to her note that she would prefer to deport the children:
"The primary expenditure we need to supply in this humanitarian crisis is jet fuel to fly these children back home to their parents."
I’m about ready to join her!
LOL.
Your path will absolutely not work.
That is the choice before us.
There is NO WAY that any “New Party” will ever have real life consequences in this country, other than to help the Democrats, if the 3rd Party is on the political Right.
We do not have a parliamentary system. In most States, the same candidate can not appear more than once on the ballot, or be nominated by more than one Party.
Your ideas warm the heart of Obama and Hillary and the Left. You will destroy our chances.
“You countries South of the Border have embassies. We will now dump these kids at your Embassy gate, in New York, and you will have to take care of your own kids.”
Obama won't do it, of course, but Republicans should suggest it, over and over again.
But this can't be! Palin supports amnesty! She supported McCain!
Glub, glub, glub.... < /anti-Palin RINOS >
I love Sarah Palin. She always has her eye on the ball.
The largest mosque in Latin America is in Venezuela, where approx 100,000 Muslims reside. As the middle-eastern Caliphate becomes quickly entrenched, and with the burgeoning number of refugees (800,000 in Iraq already!), Venezuela will be happy to grant asylum to all comers. And even happier to lose track of them (oopsie!) as soon as they arrive.
If our borders aren’t secured, and very soon, something much more sinister than 48,000 unaccompanied Latin American children is going to start pouring across our Southern border.
Yes, Sarah, secure the borders and provide transportation home for these children immediately. We may not have much time to spare.
Sarah is sick of the Uniparty's Crap!
When people ask me why I am not a Republican this is the reason why.
GO SARAH~!
She’s right on point, as usual.
Long overdue.
The GOP has been attacking Gov Palin FOR YEARS.
Team Romney even directed attacks on her children.
Amen, Sarah! Nothing I haven’t said myself!
What’s the point of being a Republican if our leadership is going to do what the Democrats want them to?
“She then railed against the GOP’s unwillingness to engage in meaningful reform on issues like border security.”
Sorry, but by saying that, she is saying that the Republicans MUST EMBRACE AMNESTY, because she has to know that Obama and the Democrats will not even discuss border security without Amnesty being involved.
She’s back to her old self...but had me fooled for a few days after Cantor lost.
Didn’t read the end...at least she’s saying fly them back.
So she appears, instead, to HAVE NO CLUE as to how the Democrats are holding border security hostage to Amnesty.
Better...but she needs to beef up her political skills a bit.
I’m all for it. Wouldn’t blink, wouldn’t look back.
I don't know. Us Tea Partiers are sick of the Republicrats. I'm a libertarian (small "l", don't pigeon-hole me, I'm not what many assume) Republican, and 1) vote for the best guy but don't trust unaccountable politicians and 2) believe the answer in Washington DC is to make it politically profitable for the wrong guy to do the right thing.
In the meantime, GO CSG's COS.
Alaska is a state of the union. How about shipping them to your locality?
Works for ME!
NO. Sooner or later a centralized party will care more about its own future than America's future. They'll become the Tea Partocrats. That's why they wisely decided against centralization. Keep it grassroots and GO Citizens for Self-Govennace's Convention of States!
That’s our girl.
Yeah, I’m disappointed to hear Tea Party Patriots ads on Mark Levin’s show.
