Illegal Immigration looks to be one of the hot-button issues in the upcoming midterm election cycle after federal officials reported that for the first time ever the number of illegal immigrants arrested at the U.S.-Mexico border is on pace to exceed 2 million.
Compiled by the Federation for American Immigration Reform, 4.9 million illegal immigrants have crossed our border since Biden took office.
"Our country is in dire need of immigration reform to ensure we have a sustainable immigration system that is concentrated on assimilating talented and hardworking individuals that have demonstrated they will abide by the law." and "Illegal immigration hurts our society and penalizes immigrants who have followed the rules and entered our country legally."
North State Journal reached out to both candidates for comment regarding their illegal immigration positions.
"Illegal immigration is an important issue to North Carolinians because - when left unchecked - the flow of dangerous individuals and drugs directly impacts our communities," Hines said in a statement to North State Journal.
"Wiley Nickel's record speaks for itself when it comes to immigration. He has consistently voted against having North Carolina law enforcement work in conjunction with federal immigration authorities," said Burgess in an email to North State Journal.
"Wiley not only supports Biden's disastrous immigration policy but plans to be a rubber stamp for anything Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi tell him to vote for. North Carolinians deserve better from their member of Congress."
