HB 786, NC Reclaim Act, will be voted on this evening at the NC State House: Please contact Representatives Alma Adams (919-733-5902) Pricey Harrison (919-733-5771), Marcus Brandon (919-733-5825) and Senator Gladys Robinson 919-715-3042) today....and tell them to vote NO on HB 786! - If HB 786 passes, North Carolina will have an anti-immigrant law similar to the discriminatory law in Arizona, which permits the police to demand that people show them their papers to prove lawful status in the U.S. - If HB 786 becomes law, people driving without a license or insurance, whether they are citizens or immigrants, can lose their cars if they are stopped by the police. - All undocumented immigrants will be required to register and officially declare their undocumented status to the state government, and provide digital fingerprints. - The driving permit will carry distinctive markers that will show a person’s immigration status, and right now, there is no guarantee that this driving permit won’t be used as proof of status to ICE in carrying out deportations. -To obtain the driving permit, people will have to pay one year of auto insurance in advance (which could exceed $1,230 per person).
