Arnold Slams Republicans and Democrats on Immigrant Policy Crisis in California
Republicans and Democrats have failed to deliver on their promises, leaving Schwarzenegger disillusioned
Get the insider scoop on Arnold Schwarzenegger's thoughts on the heated immigration debates in California, where he once held the governor's seat. Let's dive in!
In a candid appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the iconic Hollywood actor took aim at both Republicans and Democrats for their handling of the ongoing protests against President Trump's migration policy. "This wouldn't happen if the politicians did their job," Schwarzenegger bluntly stated, voicing his disapproval of the political landscape in California.
Politics and the Migration Battle
Who's fighting over California's immigration law? A four-decade-long battle between the parties, but neither seems eager to find a solution, according to Schwarzenegger. However, the actor steered clear of one-sided criticism, asserting, "America needs workers, and there are many people south of the border who want to work here." With a comprehensive immigration reform and a proper legal framework, Schwarzenegger claims, this could be a viable solution.
Back in the early 2000s, the "Terminator" star was at the helm of California, making significant strides in combatting climate change—and, he joked, spreading joy wherever he went.
Schwarzenegger Stays Hopeful
What did America look like when Schwarzenegger first arrived in 1968? Protests and unrest—similar to what we see today—due to the Vietnam War. However, the 77-year-old remains optimistic about the future of his adopted country, opining that America will weather this political storm.
Politics and the City under Siege
Los Angeles has been the epicenter of demonstrations against Trump's migration policy for days, leading to the National Guard's deployment of over 4,000 troops and 700 Marines, much to the dismay of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Schwarzenegger disputed media portrayals of the city, stating that while there are pockets of unrest, Los Angeles as a whole remains a prosperous city that he's proud to call home. Overall, theplight of immigrants continues to be a pressing issue, with Schwarzenegger advocating for bipartisan cooperation to find a lasting solution.
