NC Democrats Have Typical Meltdowns Over Proposed Sanctuary City Crackdown Legislation

Apparently, Democrats are not big fans of The Law. Let’s start out with a quote from deep in the article

(WRAL) “We’re sitting here debating whether to obey the law or not. That just amazes me. In a judiciary committee of this state, does that make any sense that we would be debating that?” asked a clearly frustrated Sen. Harry Brown, R-Onslow.

One would think, but, Democrats do not care about the law, at least when it impedes acquiring new voters who are dependent on the Government.

A proposal to crack down on local governments over immigration led to raised tempers and voices Tuesday in the Senate Judiciary Committee before being approved on a party-line vote.

Senate Bill 145 would withhold state funding from cities or counties that adopt a so-called “sanctuary” policy or ordinance regarding undocumented immigrants in any respect. It would open up an anonymous complaint process for any citizen with a “good faith” belief that a local government is not following immigration laws. The Attorney General’s Office would then be required to follow up and investigate within 45 days.17

Any local government with a sanctuary policy could be sued by anyone who was injured by the actions of an undocumented immigrant.

Obviously, this would make sanctuary cities, which are 100% run by Democrats, a bit antsy. The bill further restricts any University Of North Carolina school from limiting any federal immigration enforcement, and would disallow law enforcement from recognizing banned forms of identification. This is all about government, but, of course, Democrats are throwing monkey wrenches in the works by bringing up private entities, like churches (where was their concern when Charlotte was trying to force private entities, like churches, allow the gender confused in bathrooms, showers, and locker rooms of the opposite biological sex?)

Sen. Paul Lowe, D-Forsyth, said his church provides food and other humanitarian assistance to the community.

“The folks that need help and that are coming for help, we know they’re illegal,” Lowe said. “We know they’re here because they have nowhere else to go and they’re just trying to get some basic help. You don’t advertise it, but you just know.”

So, if you know they’re illegal, then you are breaking The Law. Intentionally. However, the law wouldn’t apply to private entities, hence, the quote from the beginning of the post, which was in response to this Democrat idiocy. Some Dems were worried about cities losing funding that they need.

Easy solution? Don’t be sanctuary cities. Do not harbor illegal aliens. Follow the law.
