Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) spoke today at Emory University’s commencement, and got in a good zinger about Arizona’s controversial new immigration law.

“I was also going to give a graduation speech in Arizona this weekend,” he said. “But with my accent, I was afraid they would try to deport me.”

He also made a crack about his wife, Maria Shriver. “This is my first law degree,” he said, “finally, the Kennedys will think I’m a success. And Maria can finally bring me home to meet her family.”

Late Update: Here’s the full video of his speech:
