Arnold Schwarzenegger’s weighing in on the current firestorm over immigration — saying America’s always been about opening its arms … but he says newcomers need to play by the rules and act right when they show up.
The 77-year-old hit “The View” Tuesday, reflecting on arriving in the U.S. from Austria at 21 with nothing — no ties, no help — yet still built a dream life. He says others can do the same … if they arrive legally and act like respectful guests in the U.S.
Arnold kept driving the point home — saying everything he’s achieved, from pumping iron to box office hits to running California, he owes to America.
Arnold then took a sharp turn — bluntly saying “foreigners” in the country “doing illegal things” … “they are not smart” — ’cause it’s all about respecting the rules, or risk losing access to the American Dream entirely.

Of course, tensions are boiling over right now — with immigration raids, fiery protests, and a country deeply divided on the issue. So looks like Arnold’s message lands right in the thick of it … calling for order amid the chaos.
