House approves bill barring illegal immigrants from state work

The Associated Press


RALEIGH, N.C. | The House overwhelmingly endorsed a bill Tuesday that would force state agencies to determine the legal status of all new employees, but the action late in the legislative term makes it a longshot the bill will become law.

The proposal approved 107-2 would require the personal information of all new state employees to be screened through a U.S. Department of Homeland Security identity check.

"The state should lead the way to show that the people employed in North Carolina are actually eligible for employment," said Rep. George Cleveland, R-Onslow, the bill's sponsor.

North Carolina has a population of about 400,000 undocumented workers, according to the Washington-based Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan research organization.

But with lawmakers pushing to finish the Legislature's annual session by as early as Thursday, Cleveland's measure faces a daunting road to passage. It will likely see a second House floor vote Wednesday. The Senate would then have to receive the bill, pass it through committee and approve it. Both chambers would then compromise on any differences before sending it to the governor for his approval.

Rep. Paul Luebke was one of two representatives to oppose the measure. He questioned why agencies would receive no money from the bill, even though it requires the new verification process.

"We don't need to be rushing forward with a bill like this," said Luebke, D-Durham.

One would think that State and Federal agencies would already be checking for legal status before hiring employees, what a grand mess this is! No wonder the federal government doesn't want to enforce their own immigration laws. they would have to arrest or and fine their own agencies for breaking the laws how embarrassing for them!

I sure am getting a lot of answering machines. I am leaving a messages. I have talked to one person so far ironically in my grandmothers district of Henderson County.

Message going out to our national list.


Supporters of ALIPAC:

I have to make this quick as I am rushing to the General Assembly to meet with lawmakers and press. There has been a break through in NC and HB 1942 "Verify Public Employee Legal Status/Funds." passed the NC House last night by a vote of 107-2. This bill is expected to pass the house on final reading today (Wed)

The problem is that the Democrat leadership in the NC Senate is expected to adjourn the session on Thursday before this bill makes it to the floor. We need every volunteer we can get to make 60 calls and send 60 e-mails to the NC Senate as soon as possible asking the NC Senate to expedite, discuss, and pass HB 1942 before leaving town.

Here are the phone numbers and e-mails for the NC Senate. Main focus should be on the Democrats.

Here is a copy of the article about this bill passing and a place where our volunteers can coordinate online.

I am having better luck now.

Senator Weinstein,

Sir, It is imperative that HB 1942 be passed this session.

NC is getting a bad reputation as a sanctuary state...one that supports illegal aliens, instead of obeying laws already on the books. Illegal aliens are criminals by definition. There is far too much crime caused by illegal aliens: too many deaths, injuries, burgleries, ID theft, etc. The citizens of NC deserve security, Sir.

Please stand up for NC and our nation.

This is what our citizenry wants.

Sincerely, Pat XXXXXX
