Recently questions regarding <br /> immigration directives made by our nation's commander in chief have been the cause of concern for <br /> people throughout the country,including the folks that live,work, and play in Orange County. We would <br /> not presume to predict the ultimate outcome of such directives. Our nation is time tested and steadfast in <br /> its resolve to weigh the merits of our leaders' actions and to apply the most democratic solution to issues. <br /> As for our Office, we will continue to remain true to our Mission. We are committed to being <br /> responsive to the needs of all members of our community as well as to those who visit or travel through <br /> our great county,without regard to the individual differences that make us unique. We will put fear and <br /> bias aside and treat all people with the respect and courtesy they deserve. Following our principles,we will <br /> remain the cornerstone of Orange County by aligning ourselves with the specific needs of those we serve. <br /> While carrying out our mission,we will not act in the capacity of immigration enforcement agents. <br /> We will perform our duties within the bounds of the statutes that govern our State, and continue to <br /> uphold the Constitutions of North Carolina and the United States. Our vision for the community's future <br /> is that people of all ages are secure and able to move freely about as they live, work, raise their families, <br /> and age in place with dignity and support. <br />
