This bill would give the General Assembly
the time necessary to determine all the ramifications of issuing
licenses to DACA eligible individuals, (a decision that SHOULD be
made by the General Assembly and not by an appointed government
official). HB141 has the support of the House leadership and the
Governor.
This bill would deny the use of foreign
consular documents as acceptable ID in NC. It is now accepted as proof
of residency in NC, by the NCDMV when applying for a NCDL and many state
agencies when applying for social welfare programs. (How does
possessing a foreign ID card prove you live in NC?)
“Along with "lawful presence" comes the chance to apply for a Social Security card and work permit.” (http://www.journalnow.com/news/local/article_02ffb74a-7d59-11e2-90ef-001a4bcf6878.html)
Those 2 documents, combined with a new NCDL, will enable the DACA
eligible individuals to apply for any NC social welfare program or
register to vote, just like any legal NC resident can.
NCFIREurges you to contact your NC State Representatives and NC State Senators. Tell them to act quickly and support these two bills.
