Former Governor of California and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared on “The View” where he pressed the need for immigration reform and greater border protection.
“You are one of the country’s most famous immigrants and a former two-term Republican governor of California back when Republicans were sane,” co-host Ana Navarro began.
“What do you think about the current immigration crisis? Because you have such a unique perspective, and what’s going on at the border.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger: "I 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,” he answered.
“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 went on.
“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.”
“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,'” host Sara Haines stated.
“It didn’t come out strong, and I thought the messaging looked weak, and it was confusing,” she added.
