CHARLOTTE, NC — Advocates call on Governor Pat McCrory to stop the hate and support immigrant families. Β McCrory joined 14 other states in a lawsuit challenging President Obama’s executive order on immigration.
Several groups met in Uptown Charlotte Friday to say he’s done a complete 180. Β They claim before he was elected, he was for immigrants, and now he’s forgotten all about them.
“His actions aren’t against Obama, but are against families,” said one activist. Β “Like we have here. Β These are the families that are going to be affected.”
More than 120,000 undocumented immigrants in North Carolina are eligible for deferred action under the President’s executive order. Β That could create $197 million in tax revenues in the next five years.
