Speaking live on today's John & Ken show on KFI Los Angeles, CA Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said that TV station KRCA should take down the billboard in which the "CA" of "Los Angeles CA" has been crossed out and replaced with the word "Mexico."

He called the billboard "divisive" and "unnecessary" and said that it promoted illegal immigration. He said that he welcomes business with Mexico and that he understands why poor people from Mexico want to come here. He blames the federal government for failing to secure the borders, not the illegal immigrants for wanting to come here.

He said that Los Angeles is a city where "we should work together, live together" and that the billboard "stirs up the issue of illegal immigration" and that it's "disservice to legal immigrants."

He thinks the Minuteman Project has done a terrific job, and that "it's a shame that private citizens has to go in there and secure our borders."

When asked why Bush would call the MMP volunteers "vigilantes," he responded diplomatically and said that he can't say what Bush is thinking and that perhaps he knows something we don't know.
