PAC pressures pro-immigration candidates

Written by Matt Willoughby

(RALEIGH) -- A North Carolina based political action committee fighting illegal immigration is launching a campaign to tell voters about politicians it says are helping illegal aliens. The American for Legal Immigration PAC or ALIPAC is going to build a list of the candidates it says are to blame for the illegal immigration problem and those who are trying to correct it.

Director Bill Gheen says the latest policy allowing undocumented applicants to attend community colleges is just another example of the problem. He says a new PAC will name names with a web site and campaign ads. Other advocates say children shouldn’t pay for the crime of their parents. Gheen says there are numerous polls showing the majority of voters in the country don’t want illegal immigrants getting government assistance.
