There's a war of sorts brewing in Chatham County NC, which towns include Pittsboro and Siler City, home to the majority of North Carolina's poultry processors.
Yep, Willy Gheen and his merry band of armchair radicals have their panties in a wad over a recent resolution passed by the Chatham County Board of Commissioners and the county's Human Relations Commission indicating strong opposition to any of its law enforcement agencies contracting with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. (ICE)
The program in question is called the 287(g) program. It authorizes ICE and local law enforcement agencies to enter into an agreement to provide local law enforcement officers with training so they could function under the supervision of sworn ICE officers.
Under the program, every person charged with a crime, whether it's for driving without a license or murder, is asked certain questions to determine if they are legally within the United States. If a person is determined to be an illegal alien, then the person would be held for deportation.
We applaud Chatham County and it's courageous Board of Commissioners and County Sheriff Richard Webster for taking this stand to protect the rights of citizens of Chatham County, both legal and illegal.
You're probably familiar with the 287(g) program and how it has been abused by that media whore, Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County Arizona. Arpaio as completely ignored the out of control crime in his county, where more than 44,000 felony warrants await service, while he galavants around the county harassing folks for "being brown".
Sheriff Webster and his department have better things to do than enforce Federal law and waste the taxpayers money.
Willy Gheen see's it differently though and has issued a "Red Alert" (how silly and juvenile) to motivate his handful of armchair radicals to flood the county offices with faxes, phone calls and emails, demanding "his will be done"!
The vote on this resolution was unanimous.
