The North Carolina based national organization ALIPAC is commending state Attorney General Roy Cooper and the NC Community College System for barring illegal aliens from colleges after a lengthy public debate.

ALIPAC is credited for playing a key role in defeating in-state tuition for illegal aliens in NC in 2005 and the group's President has been on many national television shows and North Carolina talk radio shows fighting against the decision to allow illegal aliens into NC Community Colleges.

"I want to thank Roy Cooper and the NC Colleges for standing with the vast majority of NC citizens who do not want illegal aliens receiving any tax resources," says William Gheen. "I especially want to thank all of the North Carolinians and ALIPAC supporters across the nation who have worked hard to protect our NC Community Colleges."

Prior NC Governor Jim Hunt, has openly pushed for in-state tuition for illegal aliens and current Governor Mike Easley came out in support of giving illegal aliens NC college seats. Both Gubernatorial candidates, McCrory & Purdue, have come out against the measure.

"North Carolinians have a birthright to control what happens in our colleges," says Gheen. "It took the taxes of generations of North Carolinians to build, expand, and maintain these colleges. Politicians like Easley need to listen to the 80% of North Carolinians who are tired of his pandering to illegal aliens."

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC or ALIPAC was formed on 9/11/2004 and by design and practice is open to Americans of all races and walks of life who oppose illegal immigration. The group is renowned nationally for helping to pass many state laws that enforce immigration laws and for helping to stop the Amnesty bills in the US Senate in 2007.

The groups President, William Gheen, has worked extensively in the past with many NC Lawmakers on both sides of the isle and has been a very vocal critic of the bias and censorship surrounding these issues in publications such as the Raleigh News & Observer.
