The stories of two siblings from Colombia and their experiences as undocumented immigrants are contrasted. One sibling has obtained legal residency while the other is still undocumented. Some difficulties for undocumented residents in North Carolina include being unable to get a driver’s license, being unable to afford out-of-state tuition for college, struggling to find a well-paying and safe job, and the fear of being deported.

This bulletin explains general preemption principles and provides an analytical tool for determining whether proposed or enacted immigration-related laws may be preempted (and thus invalidated) by federal laws.
