Democrats drop the ball on illegal aliens and their costs to the state of North Carolina
The Democrats have decided to drop the ball on immigration and stick their heads in the sand.
“You talk about all the state issues as much as you want but the root of the problem is at the federal level,” Sen. Walter Dalton, D-Rutherford, said. “The federal government’s going to have to step up and do something to address the issue.”
Senator Robert Pittenger is trying to do something about illegal aliens and their costs to North Carolina.
“The legislative leadership here, the Democratic leadership, has not allowed this bill to get out of committee and they certainly won’t allow any debate on the floor about it,” Sen. Pittenger added.
The News&Observer further adds.
Democrats believe new laws, such as new driver’s license laws and giving sheriff’s offices more authority to check for immigration status, are having success. Republicans argue it’s not enough.
I believe that North Carolina needs to stop being a sanctuary state and step up to the plate. North Carolinians need to stop electing “If i do not see it, it doesn’t exist” Democrats.
