Anything Arnie can do? Action hero Steven Seagal ponders running for Governor of Arizona

The ?Marked for Death? actor told KNXV-TV that he is considering a shot at the state?s highest office and has had a talk about the bid with the self-proclaimed toughest sheriff in America.

The 61-year-old made the comments while talking about his newly released reality series ?Steven Seagal ? Lawman: Maricopa County.?

Seagal teamed up with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio for the show that was shot in Arizona and airs on cable TV?s Reelz Channel.

The martial arts expert is a member of Arpaio?s posse, made up of 3,000 unpaid civilians. He also has been deputized with sheriff?s offices in New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana and says he wants to increase border security.

Seagal spoke with?ABC?about his comments running for Governor. He said it was ?remotely a joke? but that he supposes he would ?consider it.?

He told ABC that the country?s leading problem today is open borders, ?I don?t think our biggest problem is Islamist terrorism in America. Oh I don?t think that?s it at all,? he said. ?The biggest problem is open borders. I think that across these borders, any type of terrorism can occur.?

He believes that open borders are, ? a tremendous oversight by the current administration.?

He quoted Reagan who said, ?If you don?t have security on your borders you don?t have a country.?

One other issue Seagal would address is that of amnesty.

?You have to be very careful with blanket pardons,? he said.If you?re gonna pardon people you should do a background on them to make sure they?re safe for society.?

Seagal also told ABC that all he and Arpaio care about on their tv show is ?whether or not you?re a criminal.?

He says that he and the tough sheriff do not discriminate based on race or nationality.
