Schwarzenegger Hits the Nail on the Head

Arnold has his ups and downs politically, but to me this is one of his best "up" moments. Arnold, being born a foreigner, tells Mexicans to assimulate into American culture.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says some Mexican immigrants "try to stay Mexican" when they come to the United States and he urged them to assimilate into the fabric of American society.

...

"What I'm saying to the Mexicans is you've got to go and immerse yourself and assimilate into the American culture, become part of the American fabric. That is how Americans will embrace you," he added.

Arnold is speaking from experience, and he does know what he is talking about. America is a melting pot, not because we have people from many different culture, but because these people have assimulated and blended in with everyone else, adding to the pot, not seperating away from the pot.

And naturally, there is "outrage" to what Arnold said.
The governor's "comments today were a calculated political insult to all immigrants," California Democratic Party Chairman Art Torres said in a statement.

Rep. Hilda Solis, D-El Monte, said in a conference call organized by the Democratic Party that "it's not the governor's place to tell immigrants to abandon their language and their culture."

Ah yes, you have the Donks vehemently speaking out against and twisting the words of Arnold's statement, but then again they are just whoring for the ILLEGAL immmigration vote as to be expected.

Arnold is right, the moonbats are wrong, and let's hope that the people listen to the voice of experience.
