S153 would have required state law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration officials, prevented state-funded benefits from being provided to non-citizens residing in the United States illegally, and prohibited sanctuary policies at the University of North Carolina.
The House passed S153 on June 4, 2025, by a vote of 60 to 46, prior to the governor's veto. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because illegal aliens ought to be deported from the United States. They should not be granted sanctuary or residency in North Carolina. Unlawful presence in the United States is, at the very least, a civil violation, whereas illegal entry is a crime. Moreover, mass migration, which is no less an "Invasion," as per the U.S. Constitution, has become the most immediate and serious threat to our country. It is an anti-American policy designed to destroy national unity, allegiance, and sovereignty, through an undermining of the rule of law and an erosion of the value of citizenship. To save our Republic, "We the People" need to demand secure borders, the deportation of every illegal, and a moratorium on all immigration until the crisis ends.
