But we knew that already, didn't we?
Here is the latest example of their extraordinary talent.
On their website, here is their stated position on "immigration":
"We recognize that we are a nation of immigrants. We have consistently fought for the rights of working immigrants. Immigrants are a vital part of North Carolina's progress. We believe the State should provide access to important information about State services and benefits in the primary language of legal immigrants with a goal toward English proficiency.
While we recognize that immigration laws are enacted at the federal level, our State government and grassroots citizens can impact such policies by influencing our federal representatives to strengthen our national borders, protect homeland security, and to enforce existing laws. We strive for a just and comprehensive immigration law which includes a path to citizenship for hard-working, tax-paying immigrants that have contributed to making our State great."
There are several parts of that which are odious enough as they are, but wait......there's more.
Look at what their state executive committee adopted as resolutions in session right here in Greensboro last Saturday:
“141. A Resolution In Support of Immigration Reform
Resolved, that the North Carolina Democratic Party calls for
1. International efforts designed to create conditions so that
people do not have to leave their homes out of necessity through
revised policies on trade, international economic aid, debt relief,
and other types of economic programs that result in people not
having to migrate in order to survive
2. A reduction of the visa application backlog and the provision
under law for more available visas for family reunification
purposes.
3. An end to the incarceration of care giving parents of U.S.
Citizens for civil violations of the Immigration laws pending
hearings on status.
4. Sensitive and evenhanded consideration for refugee settlement in
the United States of those persons who are in danger of retaliation
for their part as employees of the United States and/or their
support of U.S. Policies.
5. A temporary worker program that includes:
a. Path to permanent residency which is achievable/verifiable
b. Family unity which allows immediate family members to join
workers
c. Job portability which allows workers to change employers
d. Labor protections which apply to U.S. workers
e. Enforcement mechanisms and resources to enforce worker’s rights
f. Wages and benefits which do not undercut domestic workers
g. Mobility between the U.S. and a workers homeland, and within the
U.S.
6. Opportunities for those without proper immigration documentation
to obtain legalization.
7. A careful consideration and action by the Congress of the United
States as to the legal rights and constitutional protections that
pertain to all persons residing in the United States.
8. Restoration of due process and recognition of basic Human Rights
for everyone irrespective of immigration status by the Citizenship
and Immigration Service of the Department of Homeland Security.
142. A Resolution In Support of Establishing a Policy on Arrest for
Civil Immigration Violation
Therefore Be It Resolved, that the North Carolina Democratic Party urges that no county in North Carolina enter into a memorandum of agreement with any agency to enforce immigration laws or take any other action that might result in racial profiling or create a climate of fear and hostility for any community in the County; and
Be it further resolved, that the Party asks that municipal
governments in the State refuse to enter into memoranda of agreement with the Department of Homeland Security to enforce immigration laws; and
Be it further resolved, that the Party urges all law enforcement
jurisdictions adopt the policy to arrest or take into custody a
person only when such person is known to have committed a criminal felony violation; and
Be it further resolved, that the Party urges that this resolution be
forwarded to all law enforcement agencies and elected officials in North Carolina."
If the Dems get their way, the speech will be "Welcome to North Carolina, your official illegal alien welcome center."
Can you say "sanctuary state"?
Won't be around in 2060 but this is an important and sobering report
