Arnold Schwarzenegger Unleashes on Politics and Immigration Debacle
Republicans and Democrats have left Arnold Schwarzenegger disheartened.
Hollywood heavyweight Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't hold back his dismay over the lack of action on the immigration crisis, particularly among Republicans and Democrats, during a late-night talk show with Jimmy Kimmel. The Austrian-born actor, who served as the governor of California from 2003 to 2011, called it a "disaster" that wouldn't happen if politicians simply did their job.
Schwarzenegger, known for his roles in films like "Terminator" and "True Lies," criticized the back-and-forth between the two parties regarding the protests in Los Angeles against US President Donald Trump's migration policy. "Neither party seems interested in resolving this issue," he said with evident frustration.
However, he didn't limit his criticism to Trump alone. "America needs workers, and there are many people south of the border who want to work here," he emphasized. Schwarzenegger advocated for a comprehensive immigration reform to provide legal paths for those willing to contribute to America's workforce and economy.
Looking back on his time as governor, Schwarzenegger spoke fondly of his tenure focusing on climate change. His meeting with Kimmel, according to the host, was met with general happiness from his administration's supporters, to which Schwarzenegger smiled, saying, "I always bring joy wherever I go."
Optimistic Outlook on America
Schwarzenegger shared memories of his early years in the US following his immigration in 1968, a time when there were violent protests and riots due to the Vietnam War. Despite the challenges facing the nation, he remains optimistic and believes America will rise above its current struggles.
Controversy has arisen recently over the deployment of 4,000 National Guard soldiers and 700 regular Marine infantrymen in Los Angeles against the will of state governor Gavin Newsom, in response to the ongoing protests and deportation raids against immigrants. Schwarzenegger spoke against the media portrayal of LA as a war zone, clarifying that only a small portion of the city is affected by the riots.
Los Angeles, according to Schwarzenegger, is still a "great city" that he takes immense pride in calling home. His comments come as a response to the ongoing debates surrounding immigration policy and its impact on cities across the nation, particularly his former home state of California.

Community policies should be utilized to address the ongoing debates and implement comprehensive immigration reform, as called for by Arnold Schwarzenegger. The employment policies could play a crucial role in this, as they can provide legal paths for immigrants who are willing to contribute to America's workforce and economy.
While the current political climate in the USA is marked by criticism and controversy, Schwarzenegger, a former governor of California, remains optimistic about the nation's future, citing his personal experiences in overcoming adversity despite challenging times in the past.
