"It's time for Americans across this great country to stand up and say, 'We're all Arizonans now'. And in clear unison, we say, 'Mr. President, do your job. Secure our border.'" -- Sarah Palin on Saturday at a news conference with fellow Republican and Arizona Gov. Janice Brewer.
Brewer scheduled the news conference to announce her first appointment to Arizona's new Joint Border Security Advisory Committee and the creation of a web site (http://www.securetheborder.org/) -- complete with a picture of Palin on the home page -- to address the state's new anti-immigration law. However, Palin viewed the news conference as an opportunity to criticize President Obama and essentially blame him for the country's long lasting struggle with illegal immigration. With this being said, during her condemnation of President Obama, she does not acknowledge the fact that Mr. Bush proposed a plan in 2004 to grant amnesty to all illegal aliens currently in the United States. Not surprisingly, Palin also avoids the fact that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), her former running mate in 2008, had previously introduced and sponsored legislation in support of amnesty. And until she does, Palin should stop stumping for conservatives currently embattled in re-election campaigns (such as Brewer) and just do her job for her supposed “fair and balanced” employer?
