Returning from a historic victory against the Open Borders Lobby in DC, ALIPAC is now turning attention to the North Carolina Legislature where the past three term governor Jim Hunt has vowed to bring back the failed HB 1183 "In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens" bill in 2007!

"Jim Hunt has announced in the NC media that he is bringing the in-state tuition bill back to the table in 2007," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "We are asking lawmakers and press to tell us 'Where's the bill?"

The defeat of HB 1183 was one of the top news stories in North Carolina in 2005. Jim Hunt stated to the NC media that he would bring the bill back in 2007, when addressing the press and populace in 2005, 2006, and early in 2007. Yet, there have been no media reports of a ressurection of the measure and no lawmakers know of its presence on the legislative map.

"This measure may be hidden in the budget. Jim Hunt and his Open Borders buddies may be preparing to try and sneak this into law. We need to locate the measure," says William Gheen. "If Jim Hunt decided to back down, then the public needs to know that."

ALIPAC stands ready to detect and destroy any legislative attempt to provide in-state tuition benefits to illegal aliens in North Carolina. Lawmakers and media are encouraged to be on alert for any sneaky attempts to get the measure into law that avoids public debate.

"We need everyone's help to determine what Jim Hunt's game plan is for this measure," says Gheen. "If North Carolinians wake up one day to find out that illegal aliens are being given in-state tuition and they were deprived of a chance to stop it, all hell is going to break lose!"
