Well, it is a hard language

And the hits just keep on coming. Schwarzenegger blamed his "faulty English", well, he has only been in this country since 1968, and I'm sure he immediately moved into a large community of German-speakers, thus hurting his assimilation.

Now, some might say there's an element of racism here, and this was Arnold's way of throwing bones to groups like "the Minutemen" who really do want to close the border with Mexico. I'd hate to think that was true, and that he's resorted to using coded language.

I do notice, though, that he didn't call to close the border between the U.S. and Austria.
