 Community College In-State Tuition Decree for NC Illegal Aliens opposed by ALIPAC
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Raleigh based national organization ALIPAC, which was credited with
helping to defeat in-state tuition for illegals in NC (2005), is taking
aim at the administration of Governor Mike Easley (D-NC) for the recent
decree that illegal aliens will now be allowed in all community
colleges. The Easley administration is known nationally for giving
hundreds of thousands of licenses to illegal aliens, an issue that NY
Governor Spitzer was pummeled for even considering.
NC Community College Attorney, David Sullivan who issued the order,
falsely claims that this move will not cost NC taxpayers because the
illegal aliens will be charged out of state tuition. Unknown to most
North Carolinians, provisions were secretly placed into law years ago
that qualifies illegal aliens for in-state tuition for community
colleges in NC.
"The public was enraged in 2005 and polls showed over 80% public
opposition to the legislative push for HB 1183 'in-state tuition for
illegal aliens'," says ALIPAC spokesman William Gheen. "When
Republicans discovered that the Democrats had already placed in-state
tuition for illegal aliens into law for community colleges, they tried
to change the law and the Democrats stopped them."
On the heels of the collapse of in-state tuition legislation and the
discovery of existing legislation directed at community colleges, State
Senator Neil Hunt (R-Raleigh) offered an amendment to the state budget
bill in 2005 that would strip out the language offering illegal aliens
in-state tuition. THE AMENDMENT PASSED THE NC SENATE UNANIMOUSLY AND
WAS LATER STRIPPED OUT OF THE BILL BEHIND CLOSED DOORS BY AN ALL
DEMOCRAT CONFEREE COMMITTEE!
"Governor Mike Easley is the next national poster boy for supporting
illegal aliens, just like NY Governor Spitzer," says Gheen. "We are
calling on the Governor to close the door to illegals in our colleges
immediately because this violates existing federal law and we should
not be training illegal aliens for jobs they cannot legally hold!"
William Gheen and ALIPAC are calling on NC Governor Mike Easley to
rescind the order which will allow illegals into community college, for
the state legislature to go into emergency session to address this
issue, and all candidates for state office to express their opposition
to this measure.
The issue is quickly becoming part of the national debate on illegal
immigration, as William Gheen goes on national news shows tonight to
discuss the matter.
