RECOMMENDED STATE LEGISLATION

• Require a valid passport for all non-citizens to apply for a NC driver’s license. State law should officially mandate that a NC driver’s license is only available to those legally present in our state. Rescind all earlier NC drivers licenses issued to those without a valid Social Security number and have them reapply.
• A greater tightening should occur to make sure non-emergency services and government benefits should be denied to illegal immigrants as federal law will allow. Always use the SAVE [Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements] Program to verify eligibility of recipients and document all benefits given to non-citizens.
• Pass a statute to prevent illegal immigrants from enrolling in NC Community Colleges and the University of North Carolina (sixteen campuses) System.
• Modify state E-Verify law to require companies with five or more employers to use the federal government’s E-Verify System by August, 2020. Our current state E-Verify law is weak and filled with loopholes.
• Business deductions for NC tax purposes cannot be claimed above $600 for any worker who is not legally present in the USA.
• Impose an excise tax of 10% on wire transfers originating in NC, when the transferor of the wire transfer is an illegal alien.
