On Immigration, and gubernatorial pontification thereon

With a hearty "Amen" to Minister GeekLethal's post below, a quick follow up.

In an op-ed from today's WSJ, I saw a line from the Governator that went like this:

How ironic it is to hear some of the same voices who complain about the outsourcing of jobs also complain about the use of immigrant workers here in America.

Realizing that the proper answer to the question I'm about to ask is, "Well, both", I'll ask it anyway.

Is it just me being thick-headed, or does that line not necessarily mean what Ahnuld hoped it would? If by ironic, he meant "totally predictable", then I think I understand. Otherwise, not so much.

Hep me out here.

I think his argument is that the work has to be done by somebody, and if you're not going to use immigrants or foreigners, there aren't many choices left. It's not a very good argument, of course, but it's an argument.
