Comptroller attacks illegal immigration

Comptroller William Donald Schaefer went on the offense against illegal immigration at a Board of Public Works meeting on Wednesday, triggered by approval of a state grant to test students taking English as a second language.

This latest in a series of comments about illegal immigrants and people who don?t speak English caused one of his primary opponents for comptroller, Del. Peter Franchot, to say they “cast serious doubts on his mental and emotional fitness for the office.”
