Saying illegal immigrants shouldn't profit from the stimulus package, N.C. lawmakers have introduced legislation that would require contractors eligible for the federal money to verify their employees' immigration status.

About Time!!!!

These people need to stay the V****V out of our government operations whether it be local,state or federal. This person and people like him are only afraid of what the American citizenry may do, to have laws carried out since the Fed's are failing us.

They are nothing but self-proclaiming,self-indulgent,self-serving bias,and selfish. I think these words describe it very well!

Romeo Carrera, a local Spanish-language radio host, said he hopes the verification bill fails. He said states shouldn't be creating laws on a federal issue.
