WILMINGTON, N.C. -- A Republican-controlled county commission in North Carolina is endorsing Arizona's new immigration law.
The Star-News of Wilmington reported Tuesday the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution supporting the law. A resolution is simply the board's opinion and carries no legal authority.
The Arizona law would require state and local police to question and possibly arrest illegal immigrants during the enforcement of other laws such as traffic stops.

New Hanover may be the first North Carolina county to adopt such a measure. A spokeswoman for the National Association of Counties only said one Missouri county passed a similar resolution and Prince William County, Va., officials passed a local law similar to Arizona's law.
