Date of Release: April 30, 2012

[STATESVILLE, NC]— On Saturday, April 28th 2012, Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page addressed an auditorium of citizens from across the Piedmont/Triad area at Mitchell Community College in Statesville, NC on issues Law Enforcement Officers face when encountering Criminal Illegal Aliens operating in the United States. Also speaking at this event was retired Federal INS Agent Mike Cutler, who is credited with several guest appearances on the Fox News Channel, MSNBC, and others. Cutler shared his perspective on the problems of Criminal Illegal Aliens with the audience, along with possible solutions such as bringing both Conservatives and Liberals in Congress together to address this issue and seek realistic solutions. This is a strategy that Sheriff Page whole-heartedly believes in as well.
“It’s not about politics, it’s about public safety. Criminal Illegal Aliens, such as Mexican Cartels, are smuggling a large number of drugs, and weapons, as well as human trafficking across our porous Southern Borders. In two to three days, it goes from the Border to our backyards, which as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in Rockingham County, is unacceptable to me”, said Sheriff Page.

Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page is returning to Washington to discuss illegal immigration.

In November, Page testified before a Congressional Judicial Committee about immigration matters, including what impact the Secure Communities Program is having on public safety.

Each year the Federation for American Immigration Reform sponsors an event that lets elected officials and others discuss with federal lawmakers current and future immigration policies.

It will be Page's third visit to Capitol Hill in the past year "to try and convince members of Congress that after forty years, it is time to actually step up and do something to impact the war on drugs," according to a news release his office distributed Monday.
