State Rep. Carla Cunningham (Mecklenburg Co.) is the only Democrat who voted last week to override Gov. Josh Stein’s veto of a bill that forces sheriffs to cooperate with ICE. Because of her vote, the bill passed.
In remarks on the House floor, Cunningham explained her support of the bill by claiming that too many immigrants came to the United States refusing to assimilate. While she said she supported some legal immigration, “it’s time to turn the conveyor belt off,” she said.
“If you ask me to line up behind another group of people to raise awareness about their plight, I unapologetically say no.”
“All cultures are not equal,” she said.
