Gov. Pat McCrory picked up a theme established by Donald Trump when he railed against so-called “sanctuary cities” harboring dangerous criminal who are undocumented immigrants upon signing HB 318 in Greensboro in October. The bill also took aim at IDs used by undocumented immigrants, although a critical amendment effectively neutralized the provision. Ultimately, as Senior Editor Jordan Green writes in this week’s Triad City Beat cover story, the new law turns out to be largely symbolic, functioning as a hostile broadside against undocumented immigrants while revving up the passions of conservative voters.
