ANNAPOLIS, Maryland -- The new congressman representing part of Anne Arundel County got an earful at a town hall meeting in Annapolis yesterday, as residents complained about illegal immigrants.
Rep. John Sarbanes, D-Baltimore, called the meeting - his first at the Arundel Center and his fourth in the county since being elected in November - to discuss a number of matters, including veterans issues and Base Realignment and Closure.
But the most heated questions from the roughly 60 people in the audience dealt with immigration.
Mr. Sarbanes' answers to questions at one point resulted in audience members shouting "No, no!" and "Bull!"
"I feel like my birthright has been stolen by illegal immigrants," said one man in the audience, who described himself as a veteran who had "earned" his citizenship. "I want to see them deported, put out of the country and not allowed back in again."
