RALEIGH — A state House member wants colleagues to hear a bill that would bar illegal immigrants from attending North Carolina community colleges and public universities.
GOP Rep. George Cleveland of Onslow County filed a request Monday to have such a measure heard during this year’s Legislature.

The community college system ordered all campuses last year to admit illegal immigrants, but it reversed the policy last week while federal officials formally weigh in on the matter. Earlier this month, Attorney General Roy Cooper’s office recommended community colleges drop the lenient admissions policy.

The recommendation also applied to the University of North Carolina system. Campus leaders will continue to admit illegal immigrants at out-of-state tuition rates for now.

Legislative rules require Cleveland to get a resolution passed first before the actual bill can be heard.

Great bill, and I sure hope it passes.

No chance the democrat party bosses will let this be heard. None.
