Over 3300 Illegals Intercepted in North Carolina
Seven North Carolina sheriffs’ offices partnering with federal immigration officials have identified at least 3,359 people in the country illegally so far this year.
All but 177 of them have been handed over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation proceedings, Eddie Caldwell, executive vice president of the N.C. Sheriffs’ Association, told legislators today.
North Carolina still has a lot of work to do on this front, but it’s improving. That’s a ridiculous number of illegal aliens for only seven counties. Imagine the drain on public services statewide.
