Topeka, Kansas (CNN) -- A Kansas state lawmaker was silent Thursday regarding a controversial remark he made suggesting that unauthorized immigrants should be shot.

State Rep. Virgil Peck, a Republican, declined to talk to a CNN en Español journalist who was waiting for him at his office Thursday. On Monday, Peck made headlines when, during an appropriations committee meeting, he made a reference to an agricultural program that controls the state's feral hog population by shooting them from helicopters.

"Looks like to me, if shooting these immigrating feral hogs works, maybe we have found a (solution) to our illegal immigration problem," Peck said.

LMAO @sanity
Dont retreat Reload is good?
blood libel is good?
shooting immigrants is good?
Oh and if a dem is shot, its a lefty that had to be the one that did it?
but someone shouting kill the bill is a thug who needs to be arrested for endangering the lives of poor "only trying to do his job" republicans
And an ex dem pretending to be a teapartier is wrong?
Gotcha[8|]

You can probably get a state representative on record saying practically anything, if you had any sense you would feel ashamed for thinking this is even remotely newsworthy.

As far as dope induced paranoia goes, have Sanity and pahunkboy ever been seen together? Maybe pahunkboy is what happens when Sanity hits the medication harder than usual...
