Editor’s Note: I wrote this 6+ years ago, and with the ending of Title 42 today, it’s more relevant today than it was when it was written. Substitute the proper current GovCo employee for any of the positions. I really wish that the members of the NC General Assembly had listened, and taken this serious when I talked to them 6 years ago, and we would have this in place. The States must take their proper place in repelling the invasion.
From April 2016:
I believe that the illegal invader issue, brought to the forefront by the current Presidential Pageant, is the State’s Rights issue We The People have been waiting to happen. We must pressure our State government officials to stand strong against the national government and the Jarrett Administration on this issue. An illegal invader cannot get in to any government program without going through a State agency first. This is an issue where 70+% of the US Citizens are in favor of action by whatever government officials will take the stand.
Since the national government seems to enjoy suing a State for no reason at all, it’s time the States to start giving them a good reason. Let them sue US over our State agencies refusing to provide ANY services to ANYBODY who can’t provide proof of legal residency in the State. And dare them to do it. Invite Attorney General Loretta Lynch to personally come back home to North Carolina to file her suit in a STATE Court to see if she can establish standing to sue the State of North Carolina.
Why should we, the taxpayers of North Carolina, be on the hook to pay to administer multiple welfare programs, for those who are not able to prove they are legal residents of the State? Whether it is for food, or housing, or transportation, or education, or child care, or healthcare, why should the legal residents of NC be forced to pay for the failures, or should I say actions of accomplice, of the national government to do its duty under the Constitution?
This draft bill has been presented to several Members in both chambers of the NC General Assembly:
NORTH CAROLINA ILLEGAL AMNESTY ANTI-COMMANDEERING ACT
A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE LEGISLATIVE SUPPORT FOR THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, AND HIS LEGAL ACTION, AND TO PROVIDE PROTECTIONS TO THE LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA IN RESPONSE TO THE CURRENT PRESIDENT AND HIS UNLAWFUL ACTIONS CONCERNING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
WHEREAS, The Governor of the State of North Carolina has joined a multi-State legal action challenging President Obama and his Executive Branch overreach concerning granting illegal residents legal status; and
WHEREAS, this type of legal action historically follows a course that may last as long as two or more years to be adjudicated; and
WHEREAS, there is Supreme Court of the United States precedent established that it is illegal for the Federal Government to commandeer a State’s Personnel or resources to implement Federal programs against the State’s laws; and
WHEREAS, there is Supreme Court of the United States precedent established that it is illegal for the Federal Government to punish a State through withholding existing funds for refusing to expand a Federal program; and
WHEREAS, for all residents, legal and illegal, federal benefits programs are operated and administered by State personnel and resources.
The North Carolina General Assembly enacts:
No department or agency of the State of North Carolina shall be required to enforce any regulation promulgated by any federal agency that violates State law. No department or agency of this State shall enforce any regulation promulgated by any federal agency within the borders of this State unless the enforcement of such regulation is approved by the General Assembly. No rule promulgated by any department or agency of this State in conjunction with the enforcement of any such regulation promulgated by any federal agency shall be approved by the General Assembly unless a joint committee, established for the purpose, has held hearings on such rule and has not recommended that the General Assembly disapprove and annul the rule or portion thereof.
This is to include, but not to be limited to, that no resident, legal or illegal, will be provided access to any State administered program or benefits based solely on any Federal Government supplied documents issued on or after January 1, 2015.
This act is effective when it becomes law.

This isn’t 1860 when the national government was able to declare war against a State, and then a group of States, without proper recourse, because the vast majority of the Citizen population had no idea what was going on in the rest of the Country. It’s time for We The People, in the institutions of our States, to stand for our safety and survival.
