Actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger joined ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel to promote season two of Netflix’s FUBAR, but the duo could not resist talking about the LA riots. Both men insisted everything has been blown way out of proportion, but Schwarzenegger also claimed the violence has been the result of politicians not passing “comprehensive immigration reform,” which he partly defined as giving citizenship to illegal immigrants.
Schwarzenegger claimed, “I totally agree with you, by the way, Jimmy. They make it out to—like it's some war zone, the whole, Los Angeles, the whole city or the county. And the fact of the matter is, it's maybe 0.001 percent of the area of Los Angeles has problems, and there's a protest.”
He declared that “I think this is important for people to know, because I don't want all of a sudden tourism to suffer in Los Angeles because what they see on television, because the media sometimes shows it as if the whole of Los Angeles is a big war zone, which really isn't really the case.”
