The hosts of “The View” attempted to get legendary movie actor Arnold Schwarzenegger to bury President Donald Trump on his approach to immigration, and instead they got served.

They likely believed it would be a softball for the actor who, himself, is an immigrant, though he came to the United States legally, and also because he is a frequent critic of the president.

“But as an immigrant yourself, you are an immigrant. You’re an immigrant in this country. Did you have a visceral reaction to what they’re doing, what ICE is doing, when you see the videos of it?” host Joy Behar said to Schwarzenegger.

“Well, I tell you, you said that the immigrant, I’m so proud and happy that I was embraced by the American people like that. I mean, imagine they came over here with the age of 21, with absolutely nothing. And then to create a career like that,” the actor responded.

“I mean, in no other country in the world could you do that. Every single thing, if it’s my bodybuilding career, if it’s my acting career, becoming governor, the beautiful family that I’ve created, all of this is because of America,” he said.

“And so this is why I’m so, so happy to see firsthand that this is the greatest country in the world, and this is the land of opportunity. And I think because I’m such a proud American, and a proud immigrant that came to America, I was asked to do, on July 4th, a big speech, the keynote speech at Mount Vernon, where George Washington was laid to rest, and where he lived, and all that, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America, the existence of America. And I will be doing the speech there,” the “Terminator” star said.

“They asked me because I’m an immigrant, and there will be 7,000-some people there, and there will be people that will be sworn in, and will become citizens that day. That’s great. So it’s really a great, great celebration,” he said.

“This is what this is all about, is to celebrate people becoming Americans, and coming to America, and all that. And so I just think the world of the great kind of history that we have with immigrants in America, but the key thing also is, at the same time, that we got to do things legal. That is the important thing, you know?” Schwarzenegger said.

“So you got to do things legal, and those people that are doing illegal things in America, and they’re the foreigners, they are not smart. Because when you come to America, you’re a guest, and you have to behave like a guest. Like when I go to someone’s house, and I’m a guest, then I will do everything I can to keep things clean, and to make my bed, and to do everything that is the right thing to do, rather than committing a crime, or being abusive, or something like that,” he said.

“So that doesn’t really work in this country. So I think the important thing is, when you become an immigrant, to think about, okay, I go to America because I want to use America for the great opportunities that America has, in education, in jobs, creating a family, all of those kind of things. Then you have to think about, okay, if I get all of those things from America, then I have to give something back,” the actor said.

“You have a responsibility as an immigrant to give back to America, and to pay back to America, and to go and do something for your community for no money whatsoever. Give something back to after-school programs, Special Olympics, or whatever it is. Make this country a better place,” he said.
