We have politicians talking about internment camps, but when we talk about comprehensive immigration reform, we have people running for office based on the fact they want to put illegal or undocumented folks into camps.

I know there have been calls for me to resign over this incident. I know council members have received those calls as well, i hope and pray that you, my fellow council members, and the Roanoke community will accept my genuine and heartfelt apology.

As the mayor of Roanoke, to you our city, to each member of this council and all my friends and supporters who have held me in the highest esteem, I want to say today that I apologize to all those offended by my remarks. No one else is to be blamed but me.
