Hypocrisy in action, Schwarzenegger style

Maggie says:
So why shouldn't Arnold Schwarzenegger support the Minutement? Well, off the top of my head, here's a few reasons:
1. Schwarzenegger himself is an immigrant
2. Schwarzenegger is also an alleged Visa violator
3. If the U.S. "closed the borders," as he suggested last week, Schwarzenegger never would've been able to come into the country, much less become governor of California

But on second thought, here's a couple of reasons why I'm not surprised at all:
1. Schwarzenegger is nothing if not an opportunist, and he's polling badly in California
2. As David Sirota smartly points out, "Scapegoating and immigrant-bashing is the last refuge of a wounded politician"
