If they (the illegal criminal intruders as I call them) live in fear, go into hiding, don't go to work, or keep their children out of school then they have no one else to blame but THEMSELVES. They broke the laws of this country and deserve what ever punishment is due to them. If they resist or obstruct then let then suffer the consequences that come with preventing a member of any law enforcement group from DOING THEIR JOB. The one distinctive fact that people fail to remember is this ......the very instant they set foot on American soil without following proper procedures with correct documentation, they are considered to be A CRIMINAL, just like YOU or I would be if we performed the same act in a foreign land. Let them be welcomed in the proper way ......come to America the correct way .....the way millions have done before you. Seek your dreams and enjoy the freedoms of America but do it as a responsible human, not a CRIMINAL. In the past 35 years, foreign born populations have grown tenfold in this state. Contained in this number are 630,000 non-citizens with 435,000 of them being undocumented. These are numbers from the NC Office of State Budget and Management and WE HAVE A PROBLEM OF ENFORCEMENT in this state and I consider it to be a failure by the Immigration Services of this state, whoever it may be. It needs to be IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED AND THAT IS WHY WE SEE THE FEDERAL AGENCIES ON OUR SOIL TODAY. I THANK THEM FOR STEPPING INTO OUR MESS AND THE JOBS THEY ARE DOING.

Wow LCSO considers this worthy of a press release. The guy on the fourwheeler probably woke a deputy up from his nap in a church parking lot.

I prefer the "schumer shutdown" because that is exactly what it is. The dems could pass a CR as they've always done and try to negotiate instead of acting like the spoiled third grade nimrods they are. obamacare (I refuse to capitalize something useless like that name) has been a fraud scheme since day one. Our group policy at my wife's workplace eventually TRIPLED in cost due to that stupid program. The ridiculous thing was for years, the working public, who paid taxes and premiums and took care of their own needs was footing the bill for other's healthcare already through higher premiums and lesser/smaller benefits. Why penalize US with another government giveaway program just so the entitlement crowd could continue to sit on their butts and drain more from us? I fight all this because I despise laziness, law breaking, disrespect, ineptness and stupidity and that's what the left wing is very proficient at ......that and being paid to publicly disrupt and obstruct enforcement of the laws the rest of us observe. I EARNED WHAT I'VE GOT ......EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD TOO!!!!

Bravo!
