Reuters: Schwarzenegger demands Congress act on immigration
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger took the U.S. Congress to task on Wednesday before a tour of his state’s border with Mexico, demanding it pass legislation to address illegal immigration.
“I believe it is totally irresponsible for the politicians in Washington, D.C. to have failed yet again to pass a comprehensive immigration reform plan and address this national crisis,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
“Until our border is secure, I know all Americans share my concern about drug trafficking and illegal immigration, as well as the possibility of terrorists entering our country undetected,” he said.
This is typical election year blustering from Arnold. On the issue of illegal immigration he has been inconsistent at best.
First, he was with the Minutemen. Then, he was against a border wall. And he BLAMED the federal government for inaction.
And…….now what?
Come on Arnold…..tell us what you plan?
It is easy to criticize the Congress but Governor Schwarzenegger how about allocating some resources to help build better border security fencing or support a California Border Police initiative? Or committ some resources to help our National Guard troops?
If you want to discuss illegal immigration then how about acting like a policy maker instead of a bloviating actor turned politico.
