NC Gov: colleges misread letter leading to new immig. policy
Easley: colleges misread letter leading to new immigrant policy
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Gov. Mike Easley says state community college officials misread a letter that led them to require all campuses to admit illegal immigrants. But the Democrat won't say whether he supports that policy.
Earlier this month, a system attorney told all 58 community colleges they must enroll undocumented individuals. The lawyer in part cited a 1997 letter written by Easley's office when he was attorney general.
Easley told The Charlotte Observer on Wednesday the letter had nothing to do with illegal immigrants. The letter said a campus couldn't prevent someone with a past criminal record from being admitted.
Before the memo was sent, the campuses had discretion on whether to enroll illegal immigrants. Nearly two-thirds did so.
