Gresham Barrett Will Lead on Immigration
Dear Editor:
It is disappointing to see the federal government fail to protect our Country. Illegal immigrants are defying our borders, committing crimes and endangering American citizens on a daily basis. The time has come for results, not more of the same rhetoric.
Unfortunately, President Obama doesn’t seem to share our concern for the security of our borders. Just today, he sided with Mexican President Calderon in criticizing Arizona’s new immigration law. It is clear he is once again putting political calculations ahead of protecting our citizens.
That is why it is up to us. We need to pass a common sense Arizona law right here in South Carolina.
Where the federal government has abdicated its fundamental responsibility, we in South Carolina will take action. I’ve co-sponsored a bill in the State Senate which mirrors the AZ legislation. And Congressman Gresham Barrett has the experience and vision to see it through as your next governor.
Gresham’s plan to take back our state is exactly what we need. His plan gives local law enforcement the authority to deport illegal immigrants who are arrested, enforces employee verification to protect jobs and asserts our state’s independence on an issue vital to South Carolinians.
It is time to take a stand. And Gresham Barrett will lead the way.
