Concerned Citizens and Immigration Reformers,
H.36 just passed the Government Committee of the NC House. The vote tally – in general the Republican members of the committee voted in favor and the Democrats voted against it. I spoke in favor of H.36 at the hearing. H.36 would require all businesses bidding on or winning state or local government contracts to use the E-Verify System to make sure new hires are legal residents. After all, why should businesses who take taxpayer money then go out and hire illegal immigrants? H.36 will have to pass one more commitee and then be voted upon by the legislature at large, but this is a big step forward for us. This would be our second bill to move forward and there are more to come.
