ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER on "On the Record" with GRETA VAN SUSTEREN

Edit: sorry for the caps. I know it annoys some people. The governator and the host both have long names and I'm on my phone. I just copy/pasted it.

This is an excerpt from "On the Record," February 23, 2010 where Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared. Could it be that he's indirectly hinting at DA? Is it just a politcal trick to try to get reelected? I mean, even Repulicans hate him in CA.

Read and interpret for yourselves.

VAN SUSTEREN: One of the things that Alan Greenspan said today is that it was an unbalanced recovery, that people who are on the -- you know, the high income earners can get good stocks and buy good deals right now. But it's really the people at the bottom who are immensely hurting. And I'm curious, is immigration a factor in this state that's creating -- I mean, what would you do about immigration, illegal immigration?

SCHWARZENEGGER: Well, I've said this many times, that we need immigration reform...

VAN SUSTEREN: What would you do?

SCHWARZENEGGER: ... because to solve this problem -- well, we've got to go and make a decision so that people can come to this country legitimately, rather than having quotas there, so that -- because we need the farm workers. We need the construction workers. We need to have people do certain jobs that maybe that we cannot fill otherwise.
So I think we ought to provide that. We ought to have, for instance, immigration reform when it comes to students. I think it's irresponsible in the way to have, you know, our students from all around the world come to our country, study, get their great education. Here we have the best university system in California, in the world, without any doubt. And then send them...

VAN SUSTEREN: There are some states that may disagree with you on that, but...

SCHWARZENEGGER: Trust me, you can look at any -- any kind of...

VAN SUSTEREN: I'm teasing you!

SCHWARZENEGGER: Yes. But the problem is that after four years or after six years, or whenever they're finished with their studies, we send the students back. I think they should stay here. They should work here. And they should take that knowledge that they have gained in California and put it to good use for California if they're studying here. So there's kinds of things like that that we ought to do in immigration reform, and it ought to be done now. We should not every two years say, Oh, this is not the right time. It is an election year. I think we should postpone it and go next year. It will never get done this way, and we always will live in this kind of a chaos. This is living in denial, basically, like ignoring that we have this major problem and people are coming across the border. Not as much right now because our economy is down, so we don't have as many illegals coming over. But the fact of the matter is it's a problem, and I think that we ought to solve it.
