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!!

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.
