Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger made a captivating appearance on The View, an ABC talk show, where he voiced his strong opinions on America’s immigration system. He called for comprehensive immigration reform and a secure border that cannot be easily crossed.
During the show, Schwarzenegger criticized the border policies that have allowed over 2.8 million immigrants to cross this year alone, emphasizing the need for reform to address the ongoing crisis. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the current conditions and the way officials have handled the situation so far.
The former Terminator movie star advocated for a more secure and impenetrable border, as well as providing visas for asylum seekers to work legally in the U.S.
“You are one of the country’s most famous immigrants and a former two-term Republican governor of California back when Republicans were sane. What do you think about the current immigration crisis? Because you have such a unique perspective, and what’s going on at the border. What do you think of President Biden starting to build these 20 miles of wall? What’s your perspective?” co-host Ana Navarro asked.
Schwarzenegger explained how he felt “in the middle” regarding the border and he also asserted that there was not just one simple solution.
“I’ve seen first hand how this is not a one kind of a step approach. You have to really have comprehensive immigration reform, and you have to look at this immigration problem in a comprehensive way. You can, first of all, believe very strongly in having a border that no one can get through. That’s number one for me. Number two, what is important is that we have visas available for people that want to work in the United States, so they don’t have to work illegally. It is bogus, we need the workers here,” Schwarzenegger said.
Schwarzenegger emphasized the need for comprehensive immigration reform and the availability of visas for foreign workers to prevent illegal employment. He also expressed concerns about terrorism and the dangers posed by drug cartels.
“It’s a stupid system. The system is set up to commit a crime. The system is set up to do something illegally. Why? Why can we not come together, Democrats and Republicans and instead of using this issue always as a fundraising issue for the party to go and sit down together and really to do the service that they’re supposed to do?” Schwarzenegger added.
“We have to have a secure border, but we’ve got to go and reform our system. That’s where the action is, I think,” he concluded.
In addition, Schwarzenegger revealed that he would have run for president if he were eligible, but as a naturalized citizen from Austria, he is not allowed.
The co-hosts of The View also shared their perspectives on the border issue, with one suggesting a different approach to handling the situation.
“How I would have come out and handled it — One, I’d put Biden on the mic right away — he’s a real talk guy. Put him on the mic and say, ‘We’re not going to take questions on this, but I got to be straight with you. This is not my wall. This is Congress’ wall. It was appropriated in 2019, I’d be literally committing a crime by disobeying this — and we have a lot of that already happening — so we’re gonna go ahead and follow the law,’” co-host Sara Haines said. “It didn’t come out strong, and I thought the messaging looked weak, and it was confusing.”
