STEPHANOPOULOS: You've also talked about compassion for immigrants. And President Bush, Senator McCain, Senator Kennedy all look at that principle and say we need a path to earned citizenship. If you're here illegally, that you but pay back taxes, pay a fine, wait in line, work hard, you should be able to become a citizen. Do you agree with that?SCHWARZENEGGER: I agree that there should be a way to earn your citizenship, especially people that have been here for a long time, people that have contributed to our economy, that have contributed to our society, they have done community work, they been great citizens. I think we should give them a chance for redemption and for, you know, earning their way in by paying, doing more community work and all of those things and passing a test, a language test, a citizenship test, and all of those things. Yes. We should. Because the other thing that people talk about which is let's send them all back. I mean think about that. How do you do that logistically? How does that work? To send 12 million people back. It would cost $500 Billion dollars. Who's gonna pay for that? I mean it's ludicrous to think this way.
I think I gave a pretty good solution in No. 25. That shouldn't cost 500 bil.
