Did you know that Durham, NC is designated a "sanctuary city" giving aide and support to illegal aliens? No wonder there are so many living in this part of the state! I don't understand how/why our state allows the "sanctuary city" designation to stand as lawful when it violates the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) which states the following without equivocation:
Notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, a Federal, State, or local government entity or official may not prohibit or in any way restrict any government entity or official from sending to or receiving from the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual.

— Section 642 (a) of IIRIRA, 1996, and Section 5434 of the Welfare Reform Act 1996; extended 2003.
