RALEIGH -- The debate over immigration in the state of North Carolina is far from over. On Wednesday, one group rallied in Raleigh in an effort to get the attention of state lawmakers.

The political group, Americans for Legal Immigration, said the state is in a crisis because it has been a top destination for illegal immigrants over the last few years. That’s why their supporters want North Carolina lawmakers to enact tougher laws to keep them away.

"We need to take care of our people here first and then go there. I came here through the process, and I expect everyone else to do the same way,â€

Nice !! They pulled the story to news14.com in Charlotte too. Hopefully it will be on the tv news.

Coverage was ok, too much pro-illegal, though.

Another short piece on the nbc affiliate in Raleigh:

Article in Raleigh was a bit of coverage that seems to lean with a positive on our side.

The article mentions that some legislator are trying to pass "don't ask status" for the illegals.

That will definitely break North Carolina like the public school system is breaking us.

great video... other than the gooney Goo Goo Old Man that was Pro Illegal Alien

We Want "W"
We Want "W"

"W" for GOV.

Sounds good to me!

Will you consider it?

We could all write you in!

Thanks Lynne for the news video!! :lol:

Yay, I made it into a shot or two. By the way, y'all, the internet audio of the rally is available 24/7. All total, it runs about 59 minutes. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/troylaplan ... Raleigh-NC

I just saw the WRAL coverage, which named NC Listen but not ALIPAC. The story is not yet on their web site. Darn, I am ugly in their footage. My woman must be blind.

Please, don't worry how you look, you are an American and we love you here!

That Peter Morris is selling his American soul - what a traitor!

Great video.

The open border guy talks like snake oil salesman.
He talks as if America was an utopical nation, where services and goods were infinite.

Obviously this guy smoked some in the 60's.

I was wondering about that too, especially after reading this:

I saw no mention of other groups in participation. IMO, the article is misleading because it didn't identify any illegal alien advocacy groups present at the really, yet there were interviews from obvious illegal alien supporters. The way the article is written could mislead folks to believe that those illegal alien supporters were part of the group, Americans for Legal Immigration. :?

Great news! The debate is getting the attention it deserves. Everyone on the anti-illegal immigration side is doing a great job! Keep it going. I'll help with the calls and emailing all I can. Thanks everyone. :)

I was in attendance. Though the turnout by citizens wasn't large (I estimate about 30), enthusiasm was great as the speakers were applauded frequently. All the speakers were excellent and made great presentations. Approx. 6 legislators also spoke about bills and initiatives. After the speeches and rally, we broke up into teams and made the rounds in the legislative building visiting Senators and Reps offices, presenting our concerns and requests and leaving literature with the staffers for the legislators (who were in session at that time). I teamed up with two gentlemen from the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps that came up from South Carolina to help out.

It was well worth attending and it was time well spent. This lays the groundwork for a bigger event to be held when the long session of the NC State Legislature occurs in January.

I hope many of you caught the talks that were broadcast on the web, as they are well worth listening to.

And BTW, when the teams went around to the legislator’s offices after the rally to speak to the staffers, one of our main points was our outrage that El Pueblo, a lobbyist advocacy group for illegal aliens, was receiving taxpayer funding and that it must be stopped.

Oh and another thing, a number of the staffers said they were receiving quite a number of e-mails and phone calls today on the topic of illegal immigration asking for enforcement. Nice work, ALIPAC'ers :D

Thanks Zeezil for the update...I did hear it on the radio at least the first hour then lost sound for some reason...sounds like you all did a great Jobs...thanks so much for being there!! :lol:
