“And there is the practical issue that illegal immigrants cannot legally be employed, so that training illegal immigrants for employment further encourages disrespect for our laws. “
How cogent.
If you agree with Sen. Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, please call at least two members of the State Board of Community Colleges and tell them as much.
Or call system president, Scott Ralls at 919-807-6950. Be nice to the receptionist.
From Berger’s press release:

“The people of North Carolina welcome all who obey the law and enter the United States through legal and established protocols. The laws of our nation and state, including those that address the integrity of our nation’s borders and our national sovereignty, must be respected and enforced. Legal residents and citizens should be able to take full advantage of the opportunities available through our community college system. North Carolina should not reward illegal immigrants with the privilege of attending taxpayer-supported community colleges. We need state policy and laws that discourage, not encourage, illegal immigration. Those who are here illegally should not be encouraged or rewarded by state government.”

RE: Admission of Illegal Immigrants to Community Colleges
Dear President Ralls,
I understand the State Board of Community Colleges is slated to meet Thursday and Friday of this week and will discuss whether to allow illegal immigrants to attend North Carolina’s community colleges. Current policy is that illegal immigrants are not eligible for admission; the purpose of my letter is to recommend that there be no change in policy.
This issue has been extensively discussed throughout North Carolina, and all indications are that the vast majority of our citizens are opposed to admission of illegal immigrants to the state’s community colleges. For most people this is not very complicated – the state should not reward illegal activity. People also have concerns about whether available space and classroom seats that go to illegal immigrants will take space and seats away from legal citizens. And there is the practical issue that illegal immigrants cannot legally be employed, so that training illegal immigrants for employment further encourages disrespect for our laws.
I encourage the board to support our legal citizens and not reward or encourage breaking our laws.
Sincerely,
Philip E. Berger

How much longer will the Institutions of America, paid for by Americans past and present, cater to illegal aliens who have never invested in this nation? Indeed, the whole illegal alien phenomenon is ruining this nation and it would appear that that is what some of our leaders want. It is an incredible conclusion to reach, but folks, don’t believe what these politicians say, look at what they do, constantly voting against the will of the American citizenry. What good is a citizen, anyway, when his/her voice is constantly igonored? This issue is killing this nation.

VERY GOOD COMMENT! I don’t think I could have worded it better. I’m fighting the ILLEGAL ALIENS here in Delaware, and things are a little slow because of our leadership. They see what it is doing to our schools, hospitals, communtities and everything else. They are looking into it, we’re told. They did look at the Oklahoma law. Just looked at it, so far. These ILLEGAL ALIENS have to get out of this Country. They are going to bankrupt us.
