At least four NC Representatives have pulled their names off of HB 1183 as co-sponsors and there are reports that others plan to or have already done so!

“We are racing to determine which legislators plan to remove their names. We have confirmed that Representatives Wilson, Pate, Tolson and Coleman have already dropped their sponsorship of the Bill� says William Gheen (President of ALIPAC). “Several lawmakers have told me that they were not accurately informed about the repercussions of the Bill. They did not realize that this legislation would cost thousands of legal Americans their seats in college at taxpayer expense.�

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC has launched a lobbying campaign with many concerned citizens to block HB 1183. There are finite numbers of seats in the UNC College System and each seat taken by an illegal alien would replace one legal citizen. UNC colleges turn away thousands of applicants each year. North Carolina families have paid into the UNC system for over 100 years to build these institutions.

“We are encouraged by these developments and will intensify our efforts!� Says Gheen. “The lawmakers that continue to support this bill need to answer an important question. What do they have to say to the thousands of North Carolinians that won’t be going to college at all if their bill passes?�

Mr. Gheen is available for comment at the General Assembly today.

ALIPAC is building and editing lists of those that support and oppose HB 1183 for concerned citizens to use at this link.
