Thread: WARNING: NC GOP Senate Leaders Gut Immigration Bill

Friends of ALIPAC,

Time is very short. We just received disturbing news that five or more NC GOP Senate leaders just gutted HB 36 provisions thus protecting illegal alien workers.

They changed HB 36 which was passed by the NC House with a large margin. The house version required all businesses doing work for the state and all NC employers with more than 24 employees to screen new hires with the accurate and free E-Verify system.

This bill would have opened up tens of thousands of jobs that are being stolen by illegal aliens at a time when American workers face record unemployment, underemployment, bankruptcy, eviction, and foreclosure!

At least five NC GOP senators are responsible for removing the part that required all employers with more than 24 employees to use the system.
It was done even though the US Supreme Court recently ruled that states can do this and even though numerous polls report that over 80% of their voters want this legislation!

The bill is now headed for the senate floor with the teeth removed.

Please take immediate action.

Step 1:

Contact the five known Republicans who are responsible for this sneaky change to HB 36 removing the provision that all large employers hire only legal workers.

Some of these may try to deny the charge, but at this time ALIPAC fully believes the following five senators are responsible for helping illegal aliens keep these tens of thousands of jobs that should have gone to Americans.

Please be firm but respectful. Any over the top messages could result in law enforcement action against you. Just let these senators know that you are aware of what they have done and that you intend to remove them from office in the 2112 elections.

Sample message "I have been informed that Senator _____ protected illegal alien workers and employers by gutting HB 36 behind closed doors. How dare he protect illegal aliens when Americans need these jobs. I intend to support Republican primary challengers against him in 2012 and believe that the 80% of voters who disagree with his efforts to protect illegal workers will help me to remove him from office in the next election cycle."

The five senators we fully believe are responsible for this betrayal of the public are:

Senate President Phil Berger

Senator Tom Apodoca

Senator Rick Gunn

Senator Harry Brown
http://ncleg.net/gascripts/members/view ... UserID=139

Senator Bob Rucho
http://ncleg.net/gascripts/members/view ... nUserID=11


PLEASE CALL OTHER REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE SENATE AND ASK THEM TO INTERVENE.

Sample Message: Senator ______, I am calling/writing to ask you to put the provision back in HB 36 that requires all employers with more than 24 employees to use the E-Verify system and stop hiring illegal aliens instead of workers. It is my understanding that Senators Phil Berger, Tom Apodoca, Bob Rucho, Rick Gunn, and Harry Brown have conspired to remove this provision behind closed doors. I hope you will stand up and insist the provision be returned to the bill. Please, our American workers are suffering terribly with historic unemployment, underemployment, bankruptcy, and foreclosure. We need these tens of thousands of jobs that these five senators just handed back to illegal aliens. Please put the teeth back in HB 36 and pass it. I intend to help remove from office any politician who protects illegal aliens and their employers above the interests of American citizens."

GOP senators that may not agree with the actions of Phil Berger, Tom Apodoca, Rick Gunn, Harry Brown, and Bob Rucho are...

I just got off the phone with my Senator's office ( Rouzer) his Secretary didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I left a detailed message with her about how upset I am over this and said if Sen. Rouzer cares to speak with me I gave her my number. I emphasized that I am his constituent and I DO vote.

Just got a voicemail box for Berger. Whoever checks it will get an earfull! Moving on...

Nicole in Sen Apodaca's office says that it is NOT true that the bill has been gutted. She says it "has not been heard in committee" and I asked if it has exactly the same language in it now as it did when it passed the House and she said, "Yes" as far as she knew. I told her, "Well there's information out there that the bill has been gutted and I am extremely upset. This is not why we elected Republicans to help illegal aliens." She said yes, the info was out there, that they have had "thousands" of phone calls and voice mails about this issue. I asked her to please make sure he knows that I as a North Carolinian am very upset, and against any changes to the bill. She said she would tell him.

She was defensive when I first spoke against the bill being gutted, but then I took the tact that, well, the info or rumor or whatever is out there that this has happened and talked from that point of view, and she was much more receptive to that.

Have emailed all the senators with my message!

This claim by Senator Apodoca's office is contrary to the statements made by Ron Woodard of NC Listen, James Johnson of NC Fire, and Representative Cleveland's office. Rep. Cleveland is the primary bill sponsor of HB 36!

Good stuff, everyone keep calling and posting notes like this for us here.

on it!
