Palin: Obama Doesn't Have the "Cojones" for Immigration Reform

Former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said Sunday that President Obama doesn't have the "cojones" to secure the nation's borders and fix its immigration system. She defended Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's decision to fight the federal government in court over Arizona's new, controversial immigration law.

"She's going to do all that she can to continue down the litigation path to allow secure borders," Palin said on Fox News Sunday. "Jan Brewer has the cojones that our president does not have to look out for all Americans, not just Arizonans, but all Americans, in this desire of ours to secure our borders and allow legal immigration to help build this country, as was the purpose of immigration laws."

A District judge last week temporarily halted controversial portions of Arizona's newly-enacted law, including the requirements for police officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws and for immigrants to carry their papers at all times. Brewer has vowed to fight the decision, setting up a legal battle that could go all the way to the Supreme Court.

Opponents of the law say it could lead to racial profiling, and they say it usurps federal authority to enforce immigration laws. The law's supporters say the state was acting in the absence of federal enforcement.

"If our own president will not enforce a federal law, more power to Jan Brewer and 44 other states who are in line to help support Jan Brewer in state laws, state efforts, to do what our president won't do," Palin said.

Mr. Obama, in an exclusive interview with CBS "Early Show" co-anchor Harry Smith, said that said he understands frustration over illegal immigration, but he warned against local, "patchwork" solutions.

"I understand the frustration of people in Arizona. But what we can't do is demagogue the issue," he said. "And what we can't do is allow a patchwork of 50 different states, or cities or localities, where anybody who wants to make a name for themselves suddenly says, 'I'm gonna be anti-immigrant and I'm gonna try to see if I can solve the problem ourself.'"

This is to all of you who say that Sarah Palin is not one of us. Most of you are probably city dwellers with college degrees. You need to get out of the city and out into the countryside and the small towns of America among the blue collar working class people. I suggest you especially visit the south and the Bible belt. Then you will see that Sarah Palin really is one of us! It's you that's "different"!

Same goes here. All of the Founders were building a constitutional republic. They knew better than to build a democracy, because that always leads to tyranny!"


Nope. They knew better than to create a direct democracy.

Therefore, they created a representative democracy.

The funniest thing about your uneducated comment, Bohica_62, is that under Obama, 98% of Americans received a TAX DECREASE!!! Those "higher taxes" people are those who can afford it -- the rich! If decreasing taxes for 98% of people and increasing them for 2% of people is your idea of "higher taxes", then let's get higher taxes all the time!!! Clown.

The dingbat, quitter from Wasilla doesn't even know what cojones are!!!

[JV1970]

She's been married to Todd for nearly 25 years and sleeping with him and having sex with him. She has five children. She knows what cojones are!

Hello Folks.

[NoCBSObamasucker]

How refreshing - someone with the cojones to note that the 'prezident' doesn't have any.
Now wonder Sara has all the light-in-their loafers poofters and combat-booted femmes-no-more shaking in their designer Hollywhore sleeze:

Sara has the guts to call a spade a spade, a traitor a traitor, and the entire Congress a bunch of self-serving lackluster do-nothings who have bankrupted the country with their ineptitude and greed.

Obama - the biggest mountebank ever to infest the White House.

If he hasn't sold the country to the Arabs, dismantled the Military, and stolen every last dime he can reach by November - De-elect ALL his cronies, fellow-travelers, Soros-suckers and progressive destroyers of America and the Constitution.

What an embarrassment, what a disaster, what a tribute to the dumbing down of America. If you voted for him, you just dissed several million Americans who died to preserve the Freedom this block-rocker from a Chicago suburb is racing to destroy.

The white collar criminal corporations will give money to ANYONE who is in power. They run the elections, write the laws and policy and make it legal and common practice to rape and pillage the taxpayers.

As far as unions, they are the best thing that ever happened to America. You can thank them for overtime pay, vacation, 40-hour weeks, the weekends and raising our standards of living.

Something the Republicans and their corporate masters are trying to get rid of.

[diztrane]

why does the media give credence to this woman of such limited intelligence and background? I pray that the Republicans make her the niminee in 2012.

[JV1970]

I pray they do, too, but not for the reason you want it! You just want to ridicule her some more. I want her to actually be elected president! I think she will be, too, if all of us Christian conservative republicans get out and vote!
