A Wisconsin blogger wrote to The Capital this week proclaiming that "the illegal Mexican stealth army" will take over America.

"The plan of the elitists (who employ undocumented workers) is the ultimate denigration of the middle class into the same class as the peons and peasants invading this country," the blogger wrote.

When asked what reasonable action the country could take, the blogger said, "Honestly, I don't know what the answer is."

On Tuesday evening, Annapolitans will hear a more developed discussion on immigration, one of the most complex topics facing the country.

Roberto Suru is wrong - January 23, 2008

Mr. Suru are you kidding? To paraphrase, 'If we want chicken breasts really $$ cheap we have to accept some sort of illegal trade-off? Utterly Ridiculous! Illegal, Is Illegal and I remain sick of the excuses provided by everyone with one. Like MOST, I?ve never assumed or believed an infestation was occurring; I believed those in charge, ie-The INS & our government at too many levels, were ACTUALLY doing their jobs but 911 showed us all they were NOT. This infestation is also a DIRECT result of a Media machine that has chosen to disperse ONLY what they wished the masses should know, for decades now. The ISSUE ?we the people? should be discussing is how to make it faster and a lot safer for ALL people (except terrorists nutjobs) everywhere who wish to immigrate to the USA. Personally, I hope and expect we'd all deny together EVEN the hint OR possibility of any future attack but I guess we all forget how to shoot for HIGHER Goals in life. I am ALL for whomever wishes to LEGALLY come and accept the challenges and rewards of becoming an American. I welcome their dreams and effort and EXPECT a minimum back for the opportunity THIS nation?s offers. Do it LEGALLY. Integrate- Learn, know and speak the language! If you feel that's racist, it is YOU who are way, way, way out in LEFT field.
