• 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.
		

• Opposes driver's licenses for illegal immigrants.

• Huckabee opines that illegal immigrants should go home
and start over again.  According to him it is not being cruel but
being kind to those who have spent their lives in hiding and
running on sighting a police car. He feels that the country owes
this priority to the legal ones who have been waiting in line for
a long time. This would make sense and protect the borders and
the dignity of each person in the country.

• Huckabee proposed building a border fence within the
first 18 months of taking office. By doing this there would be no
open door for people to just walk in and out of at will.
According to him Americans are not angry that people are coming
into the country but instead they thank God that people are
trying to break into their country rather than break out of it,
but they should come in legally which would be better for the
country and themselves.

• Huckabee wants the American citizens to hold their heads
up high. But with the illegal immigrants it is not possible since
they are throughout America in hiding while at the same time
trying to feed their families.  He wants all citizens in the US
to live decently and hence the illegal immigrants should start
all over again and get a legal citizenship in order to live
decently with a sense of pride and not fear.

• Huckabee acknowledges America's need for doctors and
engineers in abundance but says they should enter the country
legally.
