Congresswoman Sue Myrick unveiled the "Scott Gardner Immigration Act" Monday.
The proposed legislation offers immigration reforms that are more strict, more far reaching than almost anything that had been suggested before --including requiring local cops in Charlotte and across the United States to be immigration police.
Gardner was the Gaston County man killed this summer by a drunk driver. The suspect was in the country illegally.
“You're drunk, you're driving, you're illegal, you're deported, period,” Myrick said.
Myrick’s act would put people like alleged drunk driver, Ramiro Gallegos, an undocumented immigrant with five previous DUI charges into a national FBI database.
