Associated Press - March 21, 2008 11:33 AM ET

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - His wife says Walter Abbott was upset about losing construction work to illegal immigrants.

Whatever it was he wrote to Maryland's governor about the matter, it got him tossed in jail.

Maryland State police say Abbott is being held on $2 million bail after allegedly sending a threatening e-mail to Governor Martin O'Malley's official Web site.

Abbott's wife says within five hours of his posting Tuesday -- a message that she says was expressing frustration regarding illegal immigrants in the work force -- state police picked him up.

She says he had only lashed out with words because he was frustrated.

Abbott has been charged with threatening a public official and conveying a threat.

Go figure.  Illegal aliens come in here and do whatever they damn well please and when a citzen expresses his frustration he is jailed.  If these damn public officials would do their jobs this wouldn't happen.  Why do these idiots not understand that the American citizens hae had a belly full?
