Chuck supports amnesty.
We need to deport or imprison ALL illegals, seal the border and have an armed response to anyone who tries to re-cross our borders illegally.
While I agree that illegals should be deported and if necessary put in jail, what about businesses that knowingly hire illegals? Should they get away with it or should they like I think get heavily find and lose their business licenses?
Excerpt:
Therefore, our Founders enforced four basic requirements for “enrollment and acceptance” into American citizenry. We still utilize them (at least in policy) to this day, but we desperately need to enforce them. The Heritage Foundation summarizes:
“Key criteria for citizenship of the Naturalization Act of 1795 remain part of American law. These include
(1) five years of (lawful) residence within the United States;
(2) a ‘good moral character, attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States’;
(3) the taking of a formal oath to support the Constitution and to renounce any foreign allegiance; and
(4) the renunciation of any hereditary titles.”
All these things are FINE but they must announce their presence here and go through our LEGAL PROCESS!
Jefferson in particular, was concerned about culture clashes and destroying the “promised land”. They sacrificed allot to have Judeo Christian principles for our land and did NOT want it over run with others that would find that repulsive.
I have read one of his books where he states that we need to offer a path to citizenship to the "undocumented workers." He is part of the "pay a fine, learn English, and get to the back of the line" crowd that don't consider this to be amnesty, which it is.
Cheap unfunny joke by someone who should be ashamed for even attemtping to make fun over something so serious. Arnold is such a disappointment. He has turned into a kennedy

But the federal government has failed miserably to produce a viable solution to the illegal immigration crisis. Amnesty is not the answer. And immigration laws aren't effective if we continue to dodge or ignore them. Furthermore, globalization efforts have only confused security matters, further endangering our borders and national identity -- our sovereignty. And the question that keeps coming to my mind is: How is it that we can secure borders in the Middle East but can't secure our own?
“I was also going to give a graduation speech in Arizona this weekend. But with my accent, I was afraid they would try to deport me.”
Was he invited somewhere? I doubt it. Otherwise he would have gone and tried to make hay while there. Arizona probably didn’t want him. Some people do anything to get a laugh, their face time on camera and attention getting “look at me, look at me” comments. Arnold is becoming pathetic. Going NO WHERE!!!
I agree with your solution. Make them pay for providing the incentive.
It depends on what his definition of amnesty is. Obama and McCain are against amnesty. Words have meanings.
Any legislation that legalizes the status of those who broke our laws by entering our country illegally and allows them to stay is amnesty. We must not only prevent the Democrats and some moderate Republicans from hijacking the meaning of the word amnesty, but the public must be made aware about the true impact of an amnesty. The Heritage Foundation concluded that the cost of amnesty alone would be $2.6 trillion. And the number of additional LEGAL immigrants who would join those who were the recipients of amnesty through chain migration, i.e., family reunification, would approach 70 million over a 20-year period, assuming there are only 12 million illegal aliens. We cannot assimilate such numbers. An amnesty would destroy the United States of America with the stroke of a pen.
He should be asked!
A free immigration policy instituted by a welfare state guarantees its destruction.
Milton Friedman said, “You cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state.” We have both. 53% of immigrant headed households are on welfare.
And when worms like Swarzenegger, (who is destroying California by ignoring illegal immigration), make jokes about Arizona's immigration law they should be asked why they themselves chose to come here legally instead of sneaking here under cover of darkness. And these pro-illegal alien politicians need to be asked why they are not working feverishly to abolish federal laws that prohibit illegal entry into the U.S. Why do they let these laws stand but chose to ignore them? I will answer my own question, it is because these rats know that abolishing immigration law will destroy our country, and they don't want you to know that is their intent.
Wealthy, affluent Hollywood types who support illegal entry into the United States can afford to be socialists and activists for criminal aliens, but the rest of us cannot.
We should have learned our lesson about electing the super rich to govern us, they are insulated from the daily rigors and strife of trying to earn enough just to live on, they have no idea of the plight of the electorate they supposedly "serve". They have long since forgotten, if they ever experienced it in the first place, about the stress, strain and anxiety of daily life. They have made it big in America and can afford to throw money around to every cause they feel is worthy, especially OTHER PEOPLE'S money.
Good God, is it ever time for a change.
And that's a revelation? He married into the family for gosh sake, and never was a conservative in the first place. A Hollywood actor in the Kennedy family who convinced people he was a conservative is an actor indeed. That, or people are just suckers.
Too late. He has an anchor wife and babies.
He knows better than that.
So in the end, it appears Arnold is just another political whore in search of Hispanic votes. So disappointing.
