ed said:First, secure our borders
Editor's note: Arnold Schwarzenegger was invited to appear on "Lou Dobbs
Tonight" to discuss immigration, but he declined.California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today called our current immigration
system "bad policy" in a Wall Street Journal editorial.As the leader of the largest border state on the frontline of the illegal
immigration crisis, Gov. Schwarzenegger today for the first time partially
adopted the position I've advocated for the past two years: First, secure
our borders, then deal with the illegal immigration crisis.I've repeatedly called for immigration overhaul that's humane, reasonable
and effective.I have said straightforwardly that we cannot reform immigration law and
policy if we cannot control immigration. And we cannot control immigration
if we cannot secure our borders and our ports.Shamelessly pandering to the readership of the Wall Street Journal editorial
pages, Gov. Schwarzenegger invokes Ronald Reagan's name to declare that we
can have immigration policies that both strengthen our borders and welcomes
immigrants.No, Governor, we can't. National security requires that we control our
borders and our ports. So does a rational, humane and effective immigration
policy. Both flow from secure borders.I repeat, Governor, until we first secure our borders, you can do nothing to
resolve our illegal immigration crisis.Middle-class working men and women in your state
and around the nation are paying the price, while
illegal employers are enjoying the benefits and
profits of illegal immigration.You know full well your public schools in
California are overcrowded, principally because of illegal
immigration. Illegal immigration has forced the closing of
emergency rooms, clinics and hospitals in your state.Governor, were you talking about me when you said,
"How ironic it is to hear some of the same voices
who complain about the outsourcing of jobs also
complain about the use of immigrant workers here in America"?If so, be a man, Governor, use names. You know my name. And don't call
illegal aliens "immigrants." You insult legal immigrants when you do.You know as well as I do that I've never complained
about "immigrant workers" in this country, only illegal
aliens and illegal employers who break the law.Just so we're clear about the connection between
illegal labor in this country and the outsourcing
of jobs to cheap foreign labor markets: Both are
part of corporate America's drive to lower wages
in this country for middle-class working men and women.And when you talk about "the use of immigrant workers here
in America," you sound more like one of those
corporatists that dominate our political system right
now than a leader of all of the people in your state.You know, including the tens of millions of legal citizens that happen to
live in California.By Lou Dobbs CNN
