This has, as you can imagine, made the people who support the lawless activities of illegal immigrants angry. Or, should I say, angrier, because Leftists seem to be perpetually angry/offended/outraged

(WRAL) Gov. Pat McCrory on Wednesday signed into law a measure that prohibits any North Carolina county or municipality from restricting local law enforcement’s ability to cooperate with federal immigration officials.

House Bill 318, dubbed the Protect North Carolina Workers Act, also requires state and local government agencies to use the E-Verify system to check the legal status of job applicants and contractors, bars government agencies or law enforcement from using consular or embassy documents to verify someone’s identity or residence and limits food assistance for able-bodied, childless adults who are unemployed.

Good for him. McCrory made it perfectly clear that legal immigrants are more than welcome. Illegals are not.

Maria Cortez Perez said the law will pose difficulties for her and her family because all of the identification they have been using is now invalid in North Carolina.

“My family will have a hard time to obtain my sister’s birth certificate because they weren’t born here. Some of my family members won’t be able to get married,” she said. “How am I going to cut on my electricity, my heat, when I move out by myself?”

Here’s an idea: go back to your country of origin, and, if you want to be in the U.S., do it legally.

Unsurprisingly, the ACLU, AFL-CIO, NAACP, and other left wing groups are having a hissy fit over the law.

Now, though, we’ll see if the State of North Carolina will enforce the law. Los Federales already have a similar law, which is not enforced.
