“1. North Carolina has taken small steps in recent years to make it tougher for illegal immigrants to obtain a driver’s license or get a state government job. If elected, what would changes to state law or policy would you seek in your first year as governor to address the issue of illegal immigration?

2. Sheriffs in a few North Carolina counties now participate in a federal program allowing them to help enforce federal immigration laws. Should local law enforcement officials statewide enforce federal immigration law? Will you direct the state Highway Patrol and other state law enforcement agencies to do so?

3. Should the University of North Carolina system adopt a policy - similar to that of the state community college system - allowing illegal immigrants to enroll?”*
