A 30-minute documentary on illegal border crossings in Arizona brought more than 100 people to the Statesville Civic Center Sunday afternoon. The documentary was produced by a group from Tea Party Patriots, including Iredell County Commissioner Renee Griffith. The documentary was shot in July in Cochise County, Ariz., and was produced to highlight the problems some Arizona residents say they are dealing with in terms of illegal immigration, she said.

Griffith said she and other area Tea Party representatives went to Arizona at the behest of Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever, a nationally known conservative commentator. The trip was not an official one for the county and Griffith said she and the others paid their own way.
Dever was on hand Sunday for the premiere of the documentary “Invasion Freedom Under Fire.â€
