UPDATE: Bizzell apologizes for some of his remarks.
"[T]o travel with Bizzell is to understand not only the anger, but also the ambivalence that surrounds an intensifying crackdown on illegal immigrants."
N&O's Kristin Collins rides along with Johnston County Sheriff Steve Bizzell.
Interesting that more than half of NC's sheriffs are endorsing Kay Hagan; it would be interesting, too, to see party-line breakdown of NC sheriffs (here's a list, if anyone wants to take the time to figure it out).
A nice piece of work by Collins. It reminded my of similar pieces I read years ago when reporters would tag along with a white sheriff who wanted to talk about his county's "black problem."

Apologizes? Barely.
