NC Senators and Illegals...what are they thinking?

You've gotta be kidding, right? The North Carolina House approved a bill that would REQUIRE all employers with more than 25 employees (not sure why ALL employers were not included) to run prospective employees through a FREE data base to make sure they were LEGAL. 

Cool. A good step. And, one that the republican-controlled North Carolina Serante would certainly jump on. Right? Wrong. They jumped on it, all right. And, took out the meat. With a back-room deal, our senators have changed that bill to affect ONLY employers who have state contracts!!!! What about the thousands upon thousands of contractors and subcontractors hiring ILLEGAL aliens to work for cheaper wages to build houses, wire houses, do landscaping work...all sorts of jobs. Jobs that would be open to the LEGAL, but unemployed North Carolinians out there.

Was someone asleep at the wheel? Shades of the Exxon Valdese! Our elected senators, with proimses they made only a few months ago, have let us down. So much for politics.

According to published reports, five North Carolina GOP senators...at least five...are to blame. They and their contact info: 

Senate President Phil Berger

Senator Tom Apodoca

Senator Rick Gunn

Senator Harry Brown

Senator Bob Rucho

Are you fed up, yet? I am. Join me and let your senator, and all other North Carolina senators, know that, as Bill Cosby once said about his kids, "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out".

(If any of these seantors are innocent, let them speak up, loud and clear)
