Never ending source of humour

Sarah Palin said today that illegal immigrants from Mexico should be put on boats and sent back across the ocean to their home country.
In an interview with Fox News tonight, the former Alaskan governor was asked about President Obama’s new plan to partially legalize some of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in America. Palin dismissed the president's idea as “amnesty” and offered an unconventional solution of her own.
“If I were Obama I’d put all 11 million of these folks on boats and send them back to Mexico,” she opined. “The liberal media says it’s impossible to deport that many people. But I say we can do it if we have enough ships.
“Let’s commandeer all the cruise ships, all the fishing vessels and all the yachts those fat cat Obama donors own. And then let’s pack ‘em full of illegals and send these people on a one-way cruise to Mexico City.

As I suspected:
As with a previous preposterous claim Sarah Palin demanded President Obama "invade Ebola," the article was a satirical piece poking fun at the former governor of Alaska. Palin was not even a guest on the Fox News Hannity program on 19 November 2014.
The Daily Currant is a satire site known for publishing fake news stories, including a previous article claiming grits were a leading factor in fathering homosexual children. According to the site's "About" page:
"Our stories are purely fictional. However they are meant to address real-world issues through satire and often refer and link to real events happening in the world."

In Gob's defense, it's hard to believe that Palin didn't say those things. She is one brick short of the top floor and not the sharpest wife in the drawer with a Happy Meal...

That may be, but she wouldn't have suggested commandeering all that private property...

I agree. I believed the first line but after that I figured it was a joke.
