Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin praised Donald Trump’s immigration plan on Tuesday night.

The immigration plan of his — especially the wall, that’s common sense — it’s a real shot in the arm to constitutionalists and conservatives who want America to be put first,” Palin said on Fox’s “On the Record.

She said as of now it would be hard for any other Republican candidate to “trump Trump” with a better plan.

We’re rewarding those who would take illegal action,” Palin said. “He wants to stop that and certainly send the message that America comes first.”

She said that repealing the birthright citizenship provision of the 14th Amendment is totally doable and that families need to remain in units so they should all “get back in line” — together.

Although Palin avoided Greta Van Susteren’s question about whether she would officially endorse Trump, she did say he is the best thing to happen since the tea party.

Donald Trump, he’s got these Joe Six-Pack issues on his mind,” she said. “Finally, we have someone with the guts who isn’t bought by anyone.

GOP candidates Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio don’t hold the same enthusiasm for the immigration plan.

Graham said the plan will be Trump’s “eventual undoing.” He called it “complete gibberish.

 

When asked about the birthright citizenship, Florida Sen. Rubio said he didn’t agree with repealing it.

I’m open to doing things that prevent people who deliberately come to the U.S. for the purposes of taking advantage of the 14th Amendment, but I’m not in favor of repealing it,” he said.
