RALEIGH - Most of the people being detained and deported under a federal immigration enforcement program operated through county sheriff's departments are finding their way into jails and out of the country on routine traffic offenses.

The "287(g) program," in which federally trained deputies check out the immigration status of people who are arrested and taken to jails in Alamance and other North Carolina counties, is gaining popularity statewide as a way to control the population of illegal aliens.

My GOD! The day that North Carolina begins profiling people because they "talk English funny" should send chills up ANYONE'S spine!
Have you heard the way they speak "regular" English there?

Pretty scary.... ;)
