Schwartzenegger Blasts White House
Written by Sam on May 7th, 2006You got it, Arnold. The Federal government has sat back for decades when they knew all too well that we had hundreds of thousands of people invading our country from Mexico. It was only a matter of time before it would all come crashing down. The question is will our Republican government do the bidding of the citizens of America or the illegal invaders demanding they be given rights they are not entitled to?
“I think that all of this comes down to one thing: The federal government has failed the people of America in a terrible way, in a disastrous way, when it comes to this immigration situation.”
Schwarzenegger, who emigrated from Europe in 1968, called for better ways to police U.S. borders.
He chided federal policy-makers for letting the border problem “hang out there for 20 years and not do anything about it, when they knew this is a problem.”

“rights they are not entitled to?”
When will people realize the truth of this statement? I’m so sick of people talking about how these mass protests are part of the illegal immigrants “Constitutional Right to Free Speech” or “Constitutional Right to Assemble”, or how these rallies show “The political power of illegal immigrants”. The constitution protects CITIZENS, not illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants have no constitutional rights, and they can’t vote. Why don’t people realize this?

So you’re saying that parts of the Constitution apply to non-citizens, and parts don’t? The right to vote is IN the Constitution, as are the right to assemble, speech, etc. You can’t just pick out parts that apply to citizens and parts that don’t. The document as a whole applies to citizens of this country. That’s it.

Legal immigrants and legal residents are different. They have the legal right to be in the country, and other rights stem from that. Those who don’t have the legal right to even be here don’t get other rights.
