Illegal immigrants are putting a major strain on public resources, according to Surry County, North Carolina officials. The county is threatening to boycott products from the home countries of the illegal aliens if the federal government does not do something to stem the wave of border crossings.
Surry County Commissioner Larry Phillips said the North Carolina region is sending a message to both politicians in Washington, D.C. and leaders in Central America. “Enforce human trafficking laws or face potential boycott of your products in North Carolina,” Commissioner Phillips said. The resolution introduced by the local leader was sent to Embassies in Honduras, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Congress.
Commissioner Phillips also had this to say about the problems he feels illegal immigrants pose to the community:
“We are on the bottom of the political food chain. We don’t have a lot of leverage. So we’re trying to use what leverage we have to speak to our federal legislature. I think the federal government’s refusal to enforce federal immigration laws in this nation has probably reached a boiling point.”
