Dole on The Morning Beat


U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole will be on The Morning Beat Thursday.

The Salisbury Republican will talk with host Curtis Wright starting at 8:45 a.m. on the show, which is on 93.7/106.3 FM in Wilmington.

The topic will be Dole's support for a 287(g) program to give local sheriffs the power to handle illegal immigration cases.

Normally, immigration is left to the federal government, while sheriff's deputies handle only crime.

Dole recently appeared with the N.C. Sheriffs' Association to promote the program, and state Sen. Fred Smith is campaigning for all sheriffs to participate.
