WRAL-FM (Raleigh), February 5, 2009
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Thursday that eight counties helped deport more than 3,100 inmates last year.
Orange, Harnett, Duplin, New Hanover and Buncombe counties are joining a program called Secure Communities.
It gives jails equipment that uses inmates’ fingerprints to check immigration status and criminal records and automatically alerts immigration officials.

Pure window dressing. Very little will come of it in the way of deporting illegal alien arrestees. Think of it as 287(g) XtraLite

Deporting 3,100 immigrant criminals a year is like scooping sand from the beach— it is not nearly effort enough to stem the tide of criminal illegals. Every county, in every State, must sign on to these sorts of measures— and we voters must make them.
Hooray! My hometown, Wilmington, is in New Hanover County and it is crawling with illegal aliens. I guess they think a port city on the Atlantic coast was once part of Old Mexico.
When I was growing up, the largest ethnic group….after Blacks and Indians….was Greeks. Lots of Greeks live in Wilmington, complete with a Greek Orthodox church.
The City itself was laid out very much like Liverpool, England, the original inhabitants being from that city in colonial times.
Also, the first two women hanged by the Federal government, were hanged at Wilmington….they were sea pirates.
I was upset when Lt. Gov. Perdue beat Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory for Governor back in November, because McCrory has a really good anti-invasion reputation. However, I have come to find out that Perdue ran on an immigration position just as hard line as McCrory’s, and there is evidently a running debate in North Carolina, politically and otherwise, a constant jealousy between Charlotte and the rest of the state. It might have been a wonder that a Mayor of Charlotte even got to 47 percent of the vote.
This is wounderful, really wounderful. The Illegal Alien Sanctuary of New Jersey is doing the exact opposite. NJ is going to forbid the police from allowing illegals to be deported from jail.
This is good news, for if Americans don’t become, at least, as proactive as LA RAZA, MECHA, LULAC, or MALDEF, the ACLU, The Chambers of Commerc,etc., on issues of illegal immigration, then Americans might as well throw in the towel and sit back and watch Oprah and baseball, fulltime, and accept their fate.
“I have come to find out that Perdue ran on an immigration position just as hard line as McCrory’s… It might have been a wonder that a Mayor of Charlotte even got to 47 percent of the vote (for governor)”.
Yeah here in NC the democrats like Kay Hagan challenged Elizabeth Dole on immigration. The implication being the Dems are even tougher on immigration than the republicans.
Perhaps the public just didn’t believe they would be really be tougher on immigration for real. Dole did lose though, in quite an upset.
Here in Suffolk county, Long Island, the county legislator just issued a directive to the police that they cannot ask some one their immigration status or even where they’re from. With that and congressman Bishop,( who panders to the illegals),our new senator, who suddenly wants to do all she can to help the illegals, we are screwed. Long Island is remaining ,basically, a sanctuary. Far be it for the politicians to do what the people want these days.
Here’s a better policy, “If they aren’t white, deport them!”
That’ll be a lot easier to enforce then searching for and deporting a few thousand a year while hundreds of thousands pour in.
