1. In-state tuition for illegal aliens will replace American students in the very limited seats in our colleges with illegal aliens at taxpayers' expense.

2. A huge majority of North Carolinians opposes in-state tuition for illegal aliens and to implement it against the will of the majority is to disempower our citizens and overthrow our principles of self-governance and majority rule.

3. In-state tuition and college access for illegal aliens sends the wrong message; it will reward illegal alien families, as well as, attract more illegal aliens to North Carolina.

4. Allowing the illegal children of illegal aliens to receive in-state tuition benefits would be like allowing the children of bank robbers, shoplifters, and car thieves to keep their ill-gotten gains achieved by the lawbreaking of their parents.

5. North Carolinians have a birthright to decide what our educational institutions' policies are because it has taken generations of tax funding to build our Universities.

6. Allowing illegal aliens to attend college at in-state tuition rates is a violation of Federal law established in 1996. Even Governor Mike Easley is aware of this because he stated in a Charlotte Observer Exclusive on 4/22/2005 that aiding and abetting illegal aliens to enter or remain unlawfully in the United States is a violation of Federal Law.

7. In-state tuition rates for illegal aliens is unfair to American students from other states and the children of military families from other states present in NC who do not qualify for the huge discount.

8. Placing illegal aliens in NC Colleges will force taxpayers to train illegal aliens for jobs that are illegal for them to take. The state and taxpayers would become accessories to this crime.
