Governor Roy Cooper (D-N.C.) vetoed a bill on Wednesday that would require local law enforcement to work more closely with federal authorities to detain illegal aliens, according to Fox News. The move generated swift condemnation from the state’s Republicans, who control both houses of the legislature, with some vowing to hold a subsequent vote to override his veto. “Governor Cooper…prefers to pander to his far-left supporters,” said State Senator Chuck Edwards. “We will protect North Carolinians and plan to override his irresponsible veto.” Cooper defended his veto by claiming that the bill was “simply about scoring partisan points and using fear to divide North Carolina.”

NC's problem is that it has been infested w/people from the northeast ... primarily bank employees because the banks are headquartered in Charlotte.
Cooper was elected Gov because people were irate with former Gov Pat McCroy who insisted, regardless of strong local opposition, on ramming through the I-77 toll road which begins in Charlotte and extends past Mooresville, NC, built by Cintra a Spanish Co. w/all tolls to be paid to Cintra. There is a minimum the Spanish Co receives annually, and if that minimum is not met then NC taxpayers must pay the fee. I don't recall the amount.
Most are of the opinion Gov Pat and his cronies made out pretty good on that deal.

Is there a second I-77 road there? I used to travel that road up until five years ago, and the road was toll free. How could Cintra "build what was already there? I'm confused!

#1 you are correct about the Yankee bankers but your blame in the I-77 nightmare is misplaced. McCrory didn’t make that deal. The nasty democrat governor before him, Bev Perdue, did. It was her mess. Her idea. Her signature on the contract. McCrory’s failure was in not calling how the democrats saddled him with a rotten deal and trapped the state in a bad contract. Ending the bad contract would have cost taxpayers something ungodly, I forget the figure, so he, perhaps wrongly, tried to clean up her mess.
As a Republican in a liberal state, he would have taken the blame no matter what he did, you know that. What didn’t help was when his own party took him out instead of helping him, giving us Roy Cooper. Just another day in the self-sabotaging GOP...

In answer to OP.....lots and lots of folks moving into NC in the last 20 years or so from NE states and bringing their leftist infection with them. It has pretty much ruined all of northern Virginia, too.

When you look at the big picture in depth relating to immigration to the USA, both illegally and legally, over the last 40 years, it is clear that the leftist and liberal Democrats have been manipulated and politicizing immigration laws and policies by effectively turning the immigration regimes into a massive Democrat future foreign born voter generating machine. That’s why the Democrats always support allowing massive numbers of poor, uneducated, and socialist minded aliens from all over the world to gain entry to the USA who the Democrats recognize are very susceptible to the Democrat identity based political agenda of “free” stuff for everyone.
In that respect the Democrats support a massive “comprehensive immigration reform” amnesty that would legalize just about every illegal alien now in the USA and all those who could manage to gain entry to the USA during a multi-year application process, and to put all those would be legalized aliens on a Democrat created “path to citizenship” that would eventually grant US citizenship, and more importantly to the Democrats, US voting rights, that would pad the number of future Democrat foreign born voters by tens of millions, ensuring that the Democrats would win every future presidential election and control the Congress on into the future. If that Democrat “Dream” ever becomes the law, after that, it would be impossible for the US Government to effectively enforce a reasonable borderline or immigration laws.
Unfortunately the wimpy Republicans, up to when President Trump was elected, allowed, and many still allow, the Democrats to set the national immigration agenda because of the unlimited supply of cheap foreign labor, that especially mass uncontrolled illegal immigration, has provided the Republican leaning business class who have been able to hire that cheap foreign labor at a very low wage.
This is just another instance of the Democrats taking action to undermine immigration enforcement and keep as many illegal aliens as possible in the USA.
