Rep. Walter Jones Stands with NC Sheriffs in Opposition to Schumer-Rubio-Obama Amnesty Bill
After several more North Carolina sheriffs signed on to a letter to Congress from the law enforcement agencies across the nation, Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) issued a statement on Wednesday saying he stood by the sheriffs in their opposition to the Schumer-Rubio-Obama amnesty bill. Rep. Jones said he, too, is concerned about the bill's lack of interior enforcement.
"I stand with our North Carolina sheriffs in opposition to this harmful legislation," said Rep. Jones. "I share many of the same concerns that these law enforcement agents have presented in their letter. It is imperative that we secure our borders and not reward those who have broken our laws."
The Schumer-Rubio-Obama Amnesty bill would grant the nation's 11 million illegal aliens with amnesty before any of the enforcement provisions kick in. Plus, many of the bill's enforcement provisions would weaken current immigration law.
