RALEIGH - A North Carolina based national organization credited with helping establish local immigration enforcement measures in NC and around the nation is moving into position to reverse the decision of Chatham County Commissioners to create the state's first "Sanctuary County" by prohibiting local police from deporting illegal aliens.

"The recent decision by Chatham's Commissioners is an affront to state and federal laws and offensive to the majority of our state's legal citizens," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "Local police enforcing immigration laws is favored by over 80% of the public and the programs save lives!"

ALIPAC helped pass NC laws that encourage all counties to enter the 287(g) program with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while grass roots supporters have lobbied their local police and Sheriffs to join. The group has been active supporting and passing local immigration enforcement measures nationally.

William Gheen of ALIPAC will be traveling into Chatham County this Tuesday night to be the guest speaker addressing local officials and citizens who are concerned about the formation of a Sanctuary County for illegal aliens. He will provide information on how grassroots efforts can reverse the decision of the commissioners.

Members of the media and NC citizens who favor enforcement over Amnesty for illegal aliens are encouraged to attend.

The event is being hosted by The Chatham Conservative Voice (www.tccv.org) on Tuesday, January 27, 7pm, at Virlie's Grill located at 58 Hillsboro St., Pittsboro, NC 27312

For more information, please contact Heather Johnson of TCCV or William Gheen of ALIPAC.
