Roy CooperA North Carolina-based immigration organization is commending state Attorney General Roy Cooper for ruling that the North Carolina Community College System should bar illegal immigrants from attending its colleges.



The ruling came following a lengthy debate that began in November of last year when the North Carolina Junior College system announced it intended to admit illegal aliens.

William Gheen is president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC or ALIPAC. His organization played a key role in defeating in-state tuition for illegal aliens in 2005. Gheen is pleased with what Cooper determined.

"[Cooper] said his understanding of federal law is that it is illegal to put illegal aliens in colleges at all, even if you charged them full price or out-of-state tuition. [He] came out and said his interpretation of federal law is that there should be no illegal aliens admitted to college at all," Gheen explains.

It is important, Gheen feels, to turn off all incentives for those who are in the country illegally -- and he is convinced that access to American colleges is clearly an incentive for illegal immigrants and their families to come to the U.S.

Cooper's ruling, according to Gheen, is the strictest in the nation, and he hopes other states will follow. "And it's something that we hope people will carry to their states and say, 'I want my attorney general and governor to follow the lead of North Carolina and keep illegal aliens from attending college,'" Gheen adds.

It's a simple fact. If you are in the country illegally then you are in the state illegally. If you are an illegal alien then you are an illegal resident and therefore not a resident at all. You should receive no government services nor any benefits for being here. That includes admission to college.

In a decision last year, a federal judge ruled that illegal aliens have “no standingâ€
