Full Story

NC WANTED called David Price for a response to this article prior to publishing it. After 24 hours, our calls had not been returned.

Jim Pendergraph, an executive director with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), told NC WANTED that U.S. Congressman David Price is using his power to pass a spending bill that will weaken the country’s ability to enforce United States immigration laws, putting America at greater risk for terror attacks and crimes by foreign nationals.

In the June 25th article published in the N&O, the text read, “U.S. Rep. David Price, who, in his second year at the helm of the Homeland Security spending panel, is trying to increase his influence over the agency's [ICE] immigration policies. Price, a Chapel Hill Democrat, is shepherding through next year's spending package for the Department of Homeland Security. It passed a key House committee Tuesday and now goes to the House floor. The full House is expected to vote on the measure later this summer.”According to a recent article in Human Events, David Price's congressional subcommittee has already produced a fiscal year 2009 Homeland Security Appropriations bill that will prevent state and local law enforcement agencies from enrolling in the immigration enforcement program known as 287(g).

“Unfortunately, some of the congressmen have their own agenda about how much to give us [ICE], because they know the system well enough to know that if they don’t fund us, then we can’t do much,” he said.

David Price Pro-Gun Control

Although you won't find it on his website David Price supports Gun Control. Price was graded an F by NRA for his Pro-Gun Control stance. His wife Lisa is the former Executive Director of North Carolinians Against Gun Violence.

David Price co-sponsors Cap and Trade Bills

I am a cosponsor of both the Safe Climate Act (H.R. 1590) and the Climate Stewardship Act (H.R. 620), which would establish a market driven cap-and-trade system for reducing U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases responsible for global warming. These bills would roll back U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 80 percent by mid-century, which is the level of reductions scientists say we need to avoid a dangerous climate tipping point.

David Price Supports Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants

As chairman of the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, I have worked to move policy in a constructive direction in areas such as border security and immigration enforcement. To be truly effective, our immigration policy must simultaneously address border security and employer accountability, create legal avenues for workers to enter the country to meet the legitimate needs of employers, and offer opportunities for adjustment to legal status -- on a case by case basis -- to those undocumented workers and their families who are already firmly established in our communities. If through such policies we can eliminate the flow of illegal workers crossing our borders, the Department of Homeland Security can focus its resources on terrorist threats and criminal threats at the border.
