Members of the North Carolina General Assembly:

You may read our press release "North Carolina Citizens say “No� to in-state tuition for illegal aliens" at this link. I am hand delivering copies to your offices.

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) want all lawmakers to know the following facts.

--The El Pueblo supported bill "Access To Higher Ed. & A Better Econ. Future." HB 1183 will prove disastrous to our state budget and is unfair to our legal citizens. The vast majority of NC's legal voting citizens do not support this bill.

Link to Bill:
http://www.ncleg.net/Sessions/2005/Bill ... 183v1.html

Even if we use El Pueblo's exceptionally low estimate of 1,600 students enrolling the first year this bill will cost our taxpayers approximately $51,200,000 (4*8,000*1600) over 4 years if these students graduate in 4 years. NC taxpayers pay roughly $8,000 per year to subsidize in-state tuition students. Can you image what the costs will be if this number enrolls each year?

HB 1183 WILL cost our taxpayers tens of millions of dollars and the state budget is already running severe deficits!

HB 1183 WILL cost thousands of legal Americans their seats in college. We have a finite number of spaces in college classrooms and our colleges turn away people every year!

HB 1183 WILL increase the flow of illegal aliens into North Carolina as soon as the newspapers of Central and South America announce that in-state tuition access and subsidies are available to illegal aliens in our state!

Many of our legal North Carolina families have paid taxes to build these universities for over 100 years! Now they will be forced to pay more money to replace their own family members in college with foreign nationals?

Will you support or oppose HB 1183 and if you support it what would you like to say to the thousands of North Carolinian children that will NOT be going to college if you pass it?
