Carcieri focuses on immigration order in FAQs, on Fox

Governor Carcieri is scheduled to be on the O'Reilly Factor on Fox News tomorrow night to talk about his executive order cracking down on illegal immigration.

The governor's office issued a news release saying Carcieri will tape a brief interview tomorrow with host Bill O’Reilly. The interview is expected to air at 8 and 11 p.m., according to the governor's office.

The announcement followed the release earlier this afternoon by the governor's office of a frequently-asked-questions answer sheet based on the controversial executive order, issued at the end of March.

The governor's office said the document is designed to answer questions about how the order is carried out. See the document here. The six-page FAQ sheet poses 26 questions followed by answers from the governor's office. The document is also offered in Spanish.

“As people have requested information about the executive order, we determined that a Frequently Asked Questions document might prove informative and helpful in dispelling misconceptions," Carcieri said in a statement. “I expect that the document will be constantly updated as new information becomes available and new questions or concerns come to light.”

Carcieri said he is setting up an advisory group to monitor how the order is carried out so there are no "unintended consequences" for immigrants here legally. Possible members' names are being gathered; a final slate will be presented to Carcieri within two weeks. The plan is for the panel to meet for the first time this summer.

I would like to see the Governor's family's documentation of legal immigration.

I wish you the very best, Governor Carcieri. I can't put into words how proud I am of you for taking a stand on this illegal immigration. It's time these people get back to their own countries and give us American taxpayers a break.

I'm sure other States will be following you.

All the best to you and the LEGAL residents of Rhode Island!

Governor Carcieri is doing an excellent job in
carrying out his executive order against illegal
immigration in RI. I believe other governors will
acknowledge his works & follow the same procedures
in issuing executive orders against illegal immi-
gration for their states after Governor Carcieri's
appearance on the well viewed Bill O'Reilly show!
Thank you Governor Carcieri!

Governor Carcieri, I am very proud of what you are doing. It's time all governors stand behind their legal citizens who do not want illegals in this great country.

Thank you, Governor. Let's hope the rest of the country gets behind this idea.
