Easley: Illegal Immigrants Deserve Education
Posted: Today at 5:22 p.m.
Raleigh — North Carolina cannot turn its back on anyone who wants a better education, including illegal immigrants, Gov. Mike Easley said Tuesday.
Easley reiterated his support for a policy shift in the North Carolina Community College System that allows qualified illegal immigrants to attend any of the state's 58 community colleges as an out-of-state student.
About 340 illegal immigrants are enrolled statewide, officials said.
Easley said he understands why many North Carolina residents oppose the idea. But he said anyone who studies the issue would support it.
"What people are upset about, they care deeply about their citizenship. It really means something to them," he said. "All the governors allow kids – illegal immigrants – to go to community colleges because they don't want to build an underclass in their state. All the states do that."
Changing the policy would hurt innocent victims of the debate, he said.
"We're not talking about 50-year-olds who are jumping the fence to go to school. We're talking about little kids who've grown up here through no fault of their own. They don't know where they were born."
It also would harm North Carolina's economy, he said.
"If you slam the door on them, you lose that talent. If you don't take advantage of it, it's just kind of dumb."

These old guard politicians need to go. Theyve already degraded NC with their greed for gain. They want to give the cake to the illegals and tell the citizens to be happy with the crumbs.
287(g) + e-verify + SSN no match = Attrition through enforcement

The only Education Illegal Immigrants Deserve is to learn how to read a road map to find the border!

By educating them, you are assuming they will eventually be legal and be able to work. However, that is NOT the case.

Right on Gofer
I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
