The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution last night asking the county’s legislative delegation to pursue a statewide plan to deal with the financial burden on counties because of illegal immigration.

The commissioners’ latest foray into the immigration debate came less than a month after the county board turned down Commissioner Beaufort Bailey’s request to form a 13-member committee to take a closer look at how much illegal immigration is costing the county.

The resolution passed by the board says that county officials know that they have little influence and no authority over the laws regarding illegal immigration, and it appeals for state legislators to take action.

“We want to make our state and federal representatives aware that we hear from our citizensâ€

The Forsyth County Commissioners approved a resolution on immigration and is going to ask our county's legislative delegation to come up with a plan to deal with our illegal alien problems.
As most of us know, some of our delegates can't even find Raleigh much less come up with a plan. This resolution is just a smokescreen. The rinos on the board will do anything at this time to save what is left of their political careers.
