🚨 AWESOME! The North Carolina Legislature has OVERRIDDEN the Democrat governor's veto, forcing a new law to take effect that BLOCKS taxpayer funds from going to illegal aliens in welfare and housing

It also requires state police to cooperate with ICE and help deportations πŸ‘πŸ»

BIG WIN IN NC! Taxpayer dollars should NEVER have been helping illegals in the first place.

"Senate Bill 153, legislation that in part orders to agencies to ensure any and all beneficiaries of state services can prove citizenship."

Excellent. If that many were able to ovverride the governor that speaks way stronger about what the citizens of the state actually want to happen there in their communities.

NC is one of those states with a weak governor because the office is set up that way. KY is another, but LA has a strong governor built into the system.

Like the bureaucrats will enforce that. They will make Paco show his telephone bill to prove citizenship.

If these type of bills don't include severe penalties for those bureaucrats that are being purposely lenient it means nothing.

They play hardball like Democrats and impeach him for farting in public. Then do the same with whoever replaces him until they reach a Republican.

Back in 2000, when I lived in California, about 60% of Californians voted for a proposition to only allow legal residents and citizens access to taxpayer paid welfare.

A judge blocked it and it was never appealed under Gray Davis. Hence, the will of the people was overturned and see where they are now.
