Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Associated Press


On Civil Rights: Advisor to US English, an anti-bilingual organization

Schwarzenegger was criticized last week about his membership on the advisory board of U.S. English, a group that supports making English the country’s official language. A Schwarzenegger campaign spokesman strongly denied the accusations. “The man is an immigrant himself. To say he’s anti-immigrant is Orwellian,” the spokesman said.

On Immigration: Voted for Prop. 187, denying services to illegal immigrants

Schwarzenegger, who came to the United States from Austria during the late 1960s, has acknowledged voting for Proposition 187, the 1994 initiative that denied some social services to illegal immigrants. The proposition has since been mostly voided by the courts. The measure was championed by then-Gov. Pete Wilson, currently co-chairman of Schwarzenegger’s campaign.
