Get NC A Free Standing Immigration Office

North Carolina needs its own Special Agent-in-Charge (SAC) Office.  Currently, our state's immigration offices are under the jurisdiction of Atlanta, GA.  North Carolina has over 300,000 illegal aliens, and we have to rely on Atlanta (no less than 4 hours away from the NC border) for immigration decisions.  Worse yet, Atlanta determines the amount of resources we get to deal with our illegal immigration problems.  For years they have been holding resources for their own area.  We must break free from their control.  I have been working on this for years, but the bureaucracy will not budge.  Together, we can get this done.  In the near future, you will be alerted to how you can help me get our own SAC office.  Make sure you are signed up for my alerts.      

Federal Detention and Removal Operations Center

I have been  working on getting a federal Detention and Deportation facility located in North Carolina.  Our local Immigration Agents detain aliens in neighboring jails at a cost of upwards of $109 a night.  In Mecklenburg alone it costs about $7,000 to detain illegals each night.  That’s one county—I cannot imagine what it is costing us statewide.  To be better stewards of the taxpayers’ dollars, I call for an end to this wasteful and piecemeal detention method and will work to build a center for North Carolina that houses illegal aliens awaiting hearings and deportation.
