NC group rallies for illegal immigrant access to higher ed

RALEIGH, N.C. — With more restrictions possible for illegal immigrants seeking to attend college in North Carolina, one group is rallying across the state in support of easier access to higher education.

The Adelante Education Coalition plans to hold vigils Tuesday in Raleigh, Greensboro, Charlotte, Greenville and Asheville.

The group says it wants to rally support for policies that don't bar illegal immigrants from higher education.

Last year, the state community colleges board voted to accept illegal immigrants if they graduated from a U.S. high school, pay out-of-state tuition and don't displace a citizen.

And a Republican state lawmaker has introduced a bill that would bar them entirely from public colleges in North Carolina.

I graduated from a school located in one of the cities mentioned in the article. The class was limited to 30 per semester and that's all that got in. No exceptions whatsoever. I remember two foreign students; one dropped out after caught cheating and the other went through the entire program without becoming licensed. What a waste. In the meantime two qualified Americans went without. I hope they pass a bill to keep 'em all out!!! BTW, I just finished paying off my student loan this year, no freebies for me!!
