The image accompanying our May 5 cover story–”Should Illegal Aliens Get Workers' Comp?”–depicting an Hispanic man in a wheelchair with crutches, holding both the American and Mexican flags, generated about a dozen protests, summed up by one reader's e-mail.

“I agree illegal immigration is a hot topic and difficult to resolve. However…is [NU] insinuating that the only illegals in this country are Mexican, or that Mexicans should or are the only ethnic group to be excluded? I think [NU] chose a very poor picture to illustrate the article…in the way it offended people like me who are not illegal.”

We did not intend to convey the notion that Mexico is the only source of illegal immigrants. I know undocumented workers are also pouring in from Central and South America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, India, Pakistan and other nations.
