If you have an opinion on illegal immigration or the handling of Wake Schools, pay attention. A couple bills filed today focus on those two hot topics and both are in the state Senate.

Bill 405 would require jailors across the state to identify illegal immigrants who are in custody. It'll then require sheriffs to request the federal government take those inmates into custody. With no place to put the illegal immigrants, the bill also requires the governor to ask the federal government to create a holding facility.

Also in the Senate, two lawmakers want to shake up the Wake County School Board.
Neal Hunt and Richard Stevens filed a bill to eliminate districts when electing school board members. Instead, the entire election would become at-large.  That could give more power to parents in areas that seem to get hit hard by the reassignment wand every year.

A couple other smaller issues include giving state employees three days of bereavement leave, shortening the learner's permit time frame for motorcyclists, making it a felony to lie to an SBI agent and adopting the Ayden Collard Festival as the state's official collard festival.
