Arnold Schwarzenegger Sparks Uproar with Tough Immigrant Stance


Arnold Schwarzenegger
HOLLYWOOD - Former Hollywood action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger has caused outrage by urging

America to "close its borders" to illegal immigrants.

The Governor of California--a native of Austria before relocating to the US

in search of success--infuriated Democrats by criticizing the country's

current policy on preventing illegal immigration, labeling the system "lax".

In a plea to America's leaders yesterday, he said, "Close the

borders in California and all across Mexico and in the United States. It's just

unfair to have all these people coming across... and have this kind of lax

situation."

Democrats reacted with anger to Schwarzenegger's comments, prompting his

spokeswoman to clarify the remarks, insisting Schwarzenegger was actually

calling for greater security along the borders - not closure.

In the run-up to the November presidential elections, George W. Bush

called for more immigration from Mexico.
