Bill O’Reilly grilled Sarah Palin on immigration reform on his Fox News show — and the former half-term Alaska governor got just a little flustered…

On Friday Palin appeared on The O’Reilly Factor, and was pressed on how she would handle immigration reform if she were elected President.

Palin kept insisting that the U.S. needs to secure its borders, but O’Reilly shot her down. “The people watching this program,” he said, “assume that you as President would secure the border.”

But once the border is secure, “you have to look inward,” O’Reilly continued, “and you’ve got twelve million people staring at you. What are you going to have them do?”

Palin responded: “Bill, it makes me uncomfortable that we’re even going down that path so far.”

“You have to though,” said O’Reilly. “You have to go down the path because it’s going to come up.”

Here’s the video. Be sure to check out around 3:40 when O’Reilly gets Palin to admit that “political hero” Ronald Reagan “botched” immigration reform. Heaven forefend!
