Former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin actually agrees with liberals on something—so much so it’s making her question her party affiliation altogether.
“Finally, they have won me over. I actually agree with the liberals’ war whoop,” Palin wrote on Facebook last week. “I, too, demand that this issue of young illegal aliens flooding across our border into horrendous conditions be taken care of. Now!”
Palin’s remarks come after a week of news and debate over the more than 47,000 unaccompanied minors who have been detained crossing the borders since October, a 92% uptick from the same period the year before. The surge in border crossings —which the president’s administration says is motivated by extreme poverty, crime and violence back home—is overwhelming the system and shocking, inhumane conditions have been reported.
The American Civil Liberties Union and four other immigrant rights groups have issued a complaint, citing abuse by border patrol, as children who have been detained report physical abuse, harassment and verbal abuse, as well as being denied medical care, sanitary conditions, and water. Last week, the president ordered federal emergency authorities to take over the relief effort, opening new shelters for the children.
“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 haven’t exerted all Constitutional power to stop the madness,” Palin wrote.
“I say this as a mother – a bleeding-heart compassionate woman and mother. I say, how dare anyone turn a blind eye and further harden your horrid heart when you see these pictures snuck out of the innocent children’s holding pens” she wrote....

Dear Humanitarians, Since it Takes a Village to Stop Amnesty Abuse of Children, Join Me
“It’s for the children!”
“This is a humanitarian crisis!”
Finally, they have won me over. I actually agree with the liberals’ war whoop. I, too, demand that this issue of young illegal aliens flooding across our border into horrendous conditions be taken care of. Now! Uncompassionate people, wake up! Though it’s claimed by Democrats ad nauseam to justify more spending to pile on our $17 trillion debt, and it’s applied to every single “crisis” their policies conjure up, and no matter the cause you’re labeled a racist if you disagree with their policies, well, this time it really IS for the children.
I say this as a mother – a bleeding-heart compassionate woman and mother. I say, how dare anyone turn a blind eye and further harden your horrid heart when you see these pictures snuck out of the innocent children’s holding pens – snuck out because our government is censoring images released. It must be my (former) friends in the GOP ordering this censorship because Democrat leadership knows better than to EVER spy on or censor the press; they’d NEVER infringe on the First Amendment. So, for shame, Republicans.
These thousands of hungry, innocent children rushing in through Mexico are just the tip of the Sedona Red Rocks (granted, some of these illegals are 18-year-old men whom you wouldn’t want to mess with, but, still, according to Obamacare we now dub young adults “children” until they’re 26, so…). Expect to see hundreds of thousands of another country’s children walk right through our welcoming open border, counting on America’s families to render all aid. We owe it to ourselves to be prepared – so, work even harder, working class, while our President uses his trustworthy discernment to redistribute your paycheck, because it IS for the children, after all. And it takes a village, don’t you know?
These victims are brought here (by SOMEONE in authority in their own countries) facing sweltering 110-degree Arizona heat, illness, unsanitary conditions with unbelievable hygiene issues, Texan food the kids don’t like because it’s too foreign to them, and possibly sexual exploitation. By any definition, this is child abuse!
We cannot ignore this, and to do so proves you are heartlessly oblivious to the plight of those who, though not willing and able to follow rules or our laws, are expecting a free pass and handout anyway. 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 haven’t exerted all Constitutional power to stop the madness. A few have tried, but until they’re sent reinforcements, then atrocities like the child abuse and exploitation you’re now getting wind of will only get worse.
It’s already hard to recognize our once exceptional nation amidst the neglect of this issue of children used as political pawns. Can you imagine this disregard for child safety happening even a short decade ago? The press would have had none of it, and they’d shine light on what the underlying problem is. They’d report that it’s not the innocent babes’ fault, would attempt to get to the bottom of it, and then finally they’d blame Bush. Today, that approach is ignored. They just blame Bush. There is a loud and aggressive invitation to illegals of all ages and from all countries to “kick off your shoes and come on in!” Now that’s Southern Hospitality! It’s sent by foreign leaders and our own. C’mon, with all the free stuff we can supply everyone, how can anyone turn this down? Government will have to grow enormously to accommodate this influx, and services and care will inevitably have to be rationed, but like we teach our children – we’re all better off being disciplined! And isn’t sharing our resources okay as long as we have trustworthy, compassionate career politicians in charge of the nation’s priorities? Remember, our Republic has been blessed because we committed to nurture a caring, compassionate, pro-child, law abiding citizenry. And because of those mores, it’s unconscionable to take any more of this chaos and crisis. I say, enough is enough. This issue of the children MUST be addressed.
So, GOP and Democrats alike, where are you on this humanitarian issue of child abuse?
Hang on to your hat, because here’s the issue: Barack Obama has orchestrated this newest “crisis” in order to overload the system with the intention of “fixing” the problems his own policies create – by fiat, and that infamous phone and pen; screw the rule of law. He’s warned you by proudly claiming his executive orders can bypass the peoples’ representatives and obviously ignore the will of the people.
This exploitation of foreigners’ children is an inhumane ploy to entice families to break laws by literally shoving kids across one of Obama’s infamous and irrelevant lines, with assurance that parents, aunties, step-uncles and third cousins twice removed will get to cut in line too – that sacred line that previously led law abiding, hardworking immigrants to build this great nation. Barack Obama will keep phoning in and penning the message that he will NOT secure borders, so, hey, extended undocumented relatives, you’re free to join the kids being used and abused to snag that golden ticket. Obama surely knows a nation is not a nation without borders, while we must surely know this is the “fundamental transformation of America” that he promised and some of us warned about.
Congress and American voters, how long will you let Team Obama get away with this? The recent avalanche of devastating crises caused by a president believing he is above the law has set the most dangerous precedent a once-free people can imagine. To encourage and reward lawlessness by refusing to enforce the will of the people as proven by laws passed by our political representatives is the signature of a tyrant. In this case, Obama’s refusal to enforce immigration laws and his blatant suggestion that his chosen illegal activity will be rewarded are proof of his tyrannical tactics. 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 who’s 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.
So, how much more will you take, Congress and We the People? I sense not enough guts in D.C. to file impeachment charges against Team Obama for their countless documented illegalities, so the way to stop this is at the ballot box. To fundamentally restore America to her destined exceptionalism you must get involved and then get to that box. Use YOUR phone and pen to support conservative candidates who will fight for what is right: Constitutionally protected freedom, respected military, free markets to create jobs, and secured borders to protect jobs! We need your help to do this; it takes more than a village to fortify the homeland. ANYONE associated with support for Obama’s deceptive ploys that would stoop to using and abusing innocent children must be voted out of office. ANYONE who has shined the boot that Obama’s put on the neck of our economy and security must be held accountable by those with the legal power to do so – Congress. And then We the People hold Congress accountable. Do not vote for any politician who has gone wobbly on their commitment to respect the will of the people and to fight to defend our Constitution. This wishy-washy status quo has got to go.
It IS for the children.
- Sarah Palin
P.S. I see that HHS is offering a $350 million grant to provide “family planning services” to the children here illegally. The primary expenditure we need to supply in this humanitarian crisis is jet fuel to fly these children back home to their parents.
Once Mrs. Palin renounces her (R), I’m next.
Does that mean she won’t endorse McPain again in 2016? Wasn’t she for “Lindsey” again?
Show us a link where she endorsed Lindsey Graham or knock off the attacks.

Sounds like they are trying to drive a wedge between Sarah and Conservatives by twisting her words.
>> report physical abuse
I find it hard to believe the Border Patrol would abuse any child. But I would expect the ACLU to spit on the Country’s servants in order to further its Leftwing agenda.
and this

Send them home.
Governors Perry, Sandoval, and Brewer should call out their respective National Guards (the governor is the C-in-C of the National Guard) and deploy them to the border STAT! Their instructions should be to catch everyone they can crossing the border and send them back or arrest them. This includes everyone from children to Federales.
Actually, Governor Brown should too, but he’s a hopeless case.
MSNBC hears what it wants to hear. What a surprise.
One of the few cases in which parents of children who come to our country don’t automatically get to reunite with their kids is when tehy’re unfit parents.
One of the conditions that defines an unfit parent is abandonment.
I’d say sending your small child to the United States unacccompanied constitutes abandonment, and I’d like to see us act accordingly.
Sending the kids up here is such a cynical move. Nonetheless there still ought to be attempts to reunite families, SOUTH of Mexico’s border. Accompanied by missionaries!
This is a well-known “progressive’ plan, to overwhelm the system to the point of collapse so as to create either a demand for more and more government (and thus total power for “progressives”) or an uprising you can crush (preferably brutally, with lots of really cool blood)— thus creating total power for “progressives”.
Yes, it is. The Cloward-Piven Plan to destroy America from within. A husband-wife team of Columbia University professors came up with it. The wife co-founded The New Party in Chicago to enact the planks necessary for the plan to work, and a signed member of The New Party was the attorney who filed the lawsuit to force states to implement the federal Motor Voter provisions (though the Constitution gives the authority and responsibility of running elections specifically to the states...) so that elections would never have to be a factor because they could easily be stolen through electoral fraud - as the plan called for.
And the same attorney harassed banks into giving out subprime loans in the name of “equal rights for minorities” so that the integrity of “capitalism” and our monetary system could be destroyed by forcing banks to be welfare agents. The plan was specifically to destroy our economy by forcing “toxic assets” into the system. And that ultimately enabled the Sept 2008 electronic run on the bank to be so powerful, since our economy was already so close to the edge of collapse because of debt beyond what we could ever pay back.
That attorney had his Harvard law degree funded by the Saudis and was introduced by Bill Ayers’ mom to the mailman as a Kenyan-born foreign student that they were helping through school.
That attorney’s name was Barack Obama, and those 2 planks of the Cloward-Piven Plan to destroy America were about the only things he used his Islamist/communist-aided Harvard law degree for.
What’s happening on the border is a prime opportunity for conservatives to educate Americans about the communists’ plans to destroy this country - and Obama’s central role in that movement from the very beginning.
When we see the country being destroyed it shouldn’t surprise us at all. Obama was a signed member of a political group whose express purpose was to overthrow this free country from within. By signing on to that group, he told us what his intention is. And instead of being the incompetent idiot that the press wants us to think he is, he is actually accomplishing EXACTLY what he (or his puppet-masters) intended all along. It is WE who are the incompetent idiots if we refuse to see what’s before our very eyes.
They have to do things like this because THEY -- the great swooning "masses" who support Obama, the "idiots who voted for him," are PRETEND and GINNED.
On the ground in real America, Obama and motor-voter liberalism is held in contempt by most of us. It's why the Democrats have to cheat.
This can be won peacefully -- WE ARE THE MAJORITY.
Mexico does have a very secure Southern border. It
is obvious they are allowing people from Central America to cross into Mexico on the promise that they will not be turned back at the US border...Be a U.S.Marine make wrong turn and Mexico is all about we are nation of laws..That’s my question why is congress not asking, why is Mexico allowing so many to cross over..?? Dems,republicans,both need to be asking about this..Congress is letting the American people down..Only select few actually care..Hard to know what support what party to be with so much flip flopping taking place..Scandals are new weekly feature by Obama..
Why are you guys waiting for someone to make the first move or tell you what to do? I haven’t been a Republican for years now (I’m a conservative).
