Arnold On Immigration

Arnold Schwarzenegger has made a point

well worth making: that all this bending over backwards to accomodate

illegal immigrants is insulting and offensive to _legal_ immigrant like

himself, and me. It took him 15 years to get citizenship, he says, jumping

obediently through all the INS hoops and writing checks to lawyers all the

way. Same me: I arrived here October 1985, got citizenship April 2002.

Far as I’m concerned, any legislative action that would result in illegal

immigrants acquiring citizenship in less than 17 years from entry, is a

gross injustice.
