“Beaufort County in North Carolina, known for sweeping views of the Pamlico and Pungo rivers, is working toward a new distinction.

Leaders say they want to make their rural county in the eastern part of the state the toughest place in the country for illegal immigrants.

The county commissioners are meeting with a lawyer to help identify public services that can be denied to illegal immigrants.
