• According to Palin there are 12 million illegal immigrants in the US and deporting them is
not possible economically as well as it is not a humane way of dealing with the issue. They should
be made to follow rules and made to understand that legal immigrants should have the first
preference of opportunities provided by this great country. If they follow the rules they can be
treated fairly and equally in the country.
• Not having expressed her views on illegal immigration often, Sarah supports citizenship for
illegal immigrants but feels there is no amnesty for the illegal immigrants. Priority should be
given to the legal immigrants before granting opportunities to the illegal ones.
• She has reached out to the illegal immigrants requesting their needs. She feels that they
require more vocational training, the end of gang violence, assistance to seniors and mostly
outreach and communication within their communities. Palin insists on a diversity task force.
• Illegal immigrants in Alaska are at loggerheads over obtaining driver's licenses before
Palin was elected Governor. The state Senate then approved a Bill banning licenses to illegals
tightening the requirements for obtaining a license only if they prove their legal identity. This
has affected the illegal immigrants in Alaska severely.
• Sarah Palin has stated that she is sick to death about the immigration nonsense and has not
expressed her views often on illegal immigration. She feels that the new administration needs of
Alaska should be energetically started early to enable a co-operative relationship with Canada.
