Of course the Republican wants to place blame equally when one party actually proposes and puts forth legislation while Republicans shoot everything down to make sure they can keep running on it. Shocking
Schwarzenegger, I still have more respect for you than most republicans, but fuck you for trying to both sides this shit. Fuck you to hell and back.
And the fact that I can say that and still honestly say that I have more respect for him than other Republicans is fucking depressing.
Why didn’t he fix it when he was governor then ?
I really don’t care to hear what Arnold thinks about anything.
There was a bill written by senator from Oklahoma that would have easy passed the senate last year Trump said don’t do it and then Mike Johnson said he wouldn’t bring it up for vote in the house
„Both sides“ is kinda tired at this point.
No, this is pretty squarely on Republicans.
Democrats wanted to pass a border bill but Trump told his rats to block it and they did.
Arnold’s been full of shit about politics for a while, stick to body building, dude.
Obama had 8 years – didn’t even replace Ruth after multiple bouts of cancer to protect women’s rights.. then here comes Biden and he put the prosecutor in as the border czar and nothing on basic executive orders to establish the judicial federal scale up needed to process these folks.. but bottom line Trump is sending established legal citizens to foreign jails and ignoring court orders.. Arnold is wrong that Dems are all at fault since Trump is ignoring laws and attacking even Senators with his fascism and hate this term.
Democrats get like a 3/10 rating. Republicans get a -10/10.
The difference in simple terms?
Democrats are borderline useless
Republicans are dangerous
I thought Sen. Langsford R-OK was asked by Biden to put a bipartisan immigration reform package together. FWIR, he put a very comprehensive bipartisan immigration reform bill together, best plan seen in decades. Biden said he’ll support it. Rump had the Republican flying monkeys in congress vote it down. Langsford even voted his own bill down. Rump and MAGA OWN the immigration problem
Cmon Arnold
A bill was all but ready to be signed until Trump detailed it.
As long as big money is involved there will be no reform. We’re too busy fighting each other to realize we’ve already lost.
Hey Arnie, remember the bi-partisan immigration deal Trump and the Republicans torpedoed?
Glad to hear a hacks opinion on hacks. Millions of dollars to be a face in things you have no involvement in and then bitch about servitude. Pumped.
Democrats need to own their piece of this. And all of you cry babies that think Arnold is passing blame he’s not, democrats have been passive and complicit in not passing any meaningful immigration reform, just look at the dreamers who lingered into adult hood, that are now at risk. Take responsibility for your party and their weak leadership and your own inability to take any accountability as a voter. Yeah, republicans are doing this now, but democrats could have done far more before this, and they didn’t.
Nah this one is solely on Republicans. They tanked their own their own bill and Biden said if they passed a bill and it got to his desk he would sign it.
People getting so mad about this as if Obama and Biden didn’t also deport a ton of people in their administrations. Trump might be doing it more publicly and violently but neither party is a genuine friend to immigrants
Arnold “Fuck your freedoms” Schwarzenegger
Arnold is one of the few people who could get out in front of this and maybe cause some momentum to finally address issues that have been growing since Ellis Island. We need responsible voices to acknowledge that what we have now is an utter failure both from an immigration policy standpoint and from a national right to control our borders.
The two party system has to end to save US Democracy.
Ranked choice voting in general elections.
Sure, the Republicans are robbing the bank, but the Democrats are driving the get away car.
They had a bipartisan agreement that Republicans killed for Trump. It’s a one side problem.
Dems had a generous border security bill all ready to pass and republicans KOed it because Trump tweeted about it.
He’s not wrong. Both sides have blame. It’s just one side has more blame than the other. But this IS the kind of rhetoric we need to at least attempt to meet in the middle instead of pointing fingers which is what he is trying to accomplish with this. Which is desperately needed when this country is so divided. But hey, let’s all just continue to yell at each other reddit. That always helps.
Republicans literally rolling in the marines to squash protests
But both sides!
The only “immigration reform” that will be good enough for MAGA is a f***ing skin color test.
Does anybody else remember the bipartisan immigration bill like a year ago?
The one that trump tanked in congress by threatening to primary any Republican who voted for it?
Anybody?
The immigration system in this country is a disaster — not because immigrants are the problem, but because Congress, year after year, has failed to create a fair, humane, and efficient pathway to citizenship.
But let’s understand why that is. It’s not because 535 members of Congress are just confused or lazy. It’s because, for decades, too many politicians — Democrats and Republicans — have been bought and paid for by corporations and special interests that benefit from a broken system.
They want cheap labor, no accountability, and someone to scapegoat during election years. And meanwhile, real people — immigrants, working-class Americans, refugees fleeing violence — are the ones who suffer.
So yes, let’s be mad. But let’s direct that anger toward building a system that works for all people — not just the wealthy and the powerful. That means comprehensive immigration reform, a path to citizenship, and ending the exploitation of immigrant labor. It means treating human beings with dignity, not using them as political footballs.
That’s what we should be fighting for.
I’m gonna be honest. I haven’t really wanted to hear from this man since he commuted the sentence of his friend’s son who murdered an innocent young man in cold blood. He has made it clear that he has no interest in proper governance for the good of the people. He lacks the proper moral compass and fiber of character to be a source of wisdom for anyone.
Nah we’re not both sidesing this one chief
He’s not wrong, but I strongly doubt we would agree to the same “reforms”
Sorry, Ahhnold, but it’s the head of the snake who insisted the bipartisan immigration reform bill not pass so he could run on it. And everyone knew he needed it to run on because “they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the pets of the people that live there” dementia wasn’t going to get him reelected.
Classic republicans and their “both sides” argument. Republicans tanked a bipartisan bill that MAGA Senator Markwayne Mullin said would have been way more effective than what Trump is doing now. Biden’s deportations were high too, but he did it the proper way. This is just cruel and meant to anger Democrats and instill fear into migrants. KKK is running our country.
I think it is clear who is more at fault overall and he seems to casually ignore the various types of legislation that Democrats have put forward
But where he is correct is Democrats are still too busy, fighting each other, and trying to make sure they silence any person they feel could turn into another Obama that outshines them.
Remember Arnie, the dems did try and Trump sank it.
Huh. I sure seem to remember Democrats trying for reform and Republikkkans shutting it down.
He’s 100% right. As long as there’s something controversial to campaign on for either side of the spectrum then there’s money to be made in politics. He absolutely hits the nail on the head saying there’s no incentive for a solution to any of these issues when there’s unlimited money involved.
Being a politician previously was for advocates who would make their point and depart or retirees who wanted better things for their communities and constituents. Being a politician as a profession is a relatively recent development and started in the 1940s-1950s before then it was literally a public service people were providing not a cash grab like it is now
Arnold literally idolizes Reagan and Nixon… I think his heart is in the right place with a lot of things, but his political ideology is fucked.
This is very true
Honestly agreed.
