Taylor to Sponsor Town Hall Meeting on Immigration
Washington, Aug 31 - Western North Carolina Representative Charles Taylor announced today that he will sponsor a Town Hall Meeting on Immigration with special guest Rep. Tom Tancredo. Rep. Tancredo (R-CO) is the chairman of the 104-member bipartisan Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, of which Rep. Taylor is also a member. Both lawmakers are outspoken advocates of immigration reform. The Town Hall Meeting on Immigration will be from 5 to 7 p.m., Saturday, September 9th in Thomas Auditorium of the Sink Building at Blue Ridge Community College in Hendersonville.
“Illegal immigration is one of the biggest problems facing our nation, and it is a huge concern among my constituents,” said Rep. Taylor. “Last fall, more than two thousand residents in my district co-signed a letter from me to President Bush asking for immediate and meaningful immigration reform. I am proud to say that the plan supported by so many people in Western North Carolina became one of the cornerstones of the immigration reform bill that was recently passed by the U.S. House.”
“Charles Taylor is among the strongest advocates in Congress for secure borders and a secure America. I am excited to have the opportunity to share the stage with him as we continue to carry that message forward into the November elections,” said Rep. Tom Tancredo.
U.S. House members have been holding hearings on immigration and immigration reform in key areas of the country for the past several weeks. North Carolina currently has the 8th largest illegal alien population in the country. The state experienced a 58.1% increase in its foreign-born population just between the years of 2000 and 2005. This was one of the largest percentage increases in the country for that time period.
