Sarah Palin on Immigration and Amnesty

"Supports a path to citizenship, but no amnesty for illegals. (Oct 2008)
Never supported Pat Buchanan for president. (Sep 2008)
Has not often expressed views on illegal immigration. (Aug 2008)
OpEd: Palin is sick to death of this immigration nonsense. (Mar 2008)
Address jointly with Canada the border security challenges. (Jan 2007)
Immigrants want more vocational training & senior assistance. (Oct 2006)
Took no action on Alaska’s “sanctuary cities”. (Sep 2006)
Tightened restrictions on illegal alien’s drivers licenses. (Sep 2006)"

Many folks are trying to convince me that Sarah Palin, as conspiracy nut Alex Jones' proclaims, is a fake and pro-amnesty for illegals. The above information is from a site that claims to articulate where Sarah Palin stands on the issues. In what is above, where does it say she is pro-amnesty?

Like Palin, I support a path to citizenship for those that wish to immigrate legally to this country. Remember, my wife is an immigrant that came here legally as a child with her parents, and naturalized in 2007. But, as does my wife and Palin, I do not support amnesty for those who are here illegally. If they are willing to break the law to come here, who knows what other laws they are willing to break.

And though Palin did nothing regarding sanctuary cities, as stated above, she tightened restrictions on illegal alien drivers licenses.

This does not convince me that she is pro-amnesty. For those out there making this claim, you will need more solid evidence than an assumption.
