North Carolina Stops Allowing Illegals Into Community Colleges

That's right, you read the title right.

The State of North Carolina will no longer admit illegal aliens into their Community College system.

RALEIGH – Based on an advisory letter from the Office of the Attorney General, beginning immediately, the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) will no longer admit individuals classified as illegal or undocumented immigrants into curriculum degree programs. This action is in response to the recent advice provided to the NCCCS general counsel by the Office of the Attorney General on May 6, 2008 and a subsequent meeting with the AG’s Office on Monday, May 12. The System has asked the AG’s Office to pursue further federal clarification.

“We asked the Attorney General’s Office for clarification of our present policy and will abide by their advice,” said System President R. Scott Ralls. “We will continue to be a primary source of economic advancement for the state by providing world-class education and workforce training to every student eligible to enroll.”

In December 2007, the NCCCS sought clarification from the Attorney General regarding a System Numbered Memo, dated November 7, 2007, that had been sent to all 58 community colleges mandating they admit illegal aliens at the out-of-state tuition rate. That rate is calculated to equal 140% of what it costs the state to provide a full-time education to one student. The November directive was the result of the NCCCS interpretation of an earlier Attorney General advisory letter that said community colleges could not impose nonacademic criteria for admission, which supported the “open door” policy of the NCCCS.

In the May 6 letter, the Office of the Attorney General advised the NCCCS to return to the directive in System Numbered Memo 01-271, dated December 21, 2001, that prohibits undocumented students from taking curriculum degree classes. That memo places no restriction on high school students taking any community college classes or on any adult who seeks non-college level courses which include GED, Adult High School, ESL, and continuing education classes.

Ok, I've got to ask.

If you've read me for a while, you know what's coming.

If not, brace yourself, and strap in tight.

What in the BLUE HELL was the community college system in North Carolina doing letting illegal aliens into the programs to begin with? What does this do to North Carolinians who are wanting to get into programs but can't because the slots are full from having allowed illegals into the programs.

WHAT PART OF ILLEGAL IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?

Municipalities and state and federal government agencies who allow illegal aliens to come into this country and access programs and services that are meant for American citizens are guilty of harboring fugitives from justice. Anyone who comes into this country illegally should immediately be considered a fugitive, because the first act that they have committed by being on our soil illegally is a crime.

IT IS THAT CUT AND DRY.

If someone were to enter your home without permission, they would be charged with breaking and entering, upon capture. So what in the HELL is so difficult in applying the rule of law to those entering this country illegally?

I honestly don't get it. I do not understand the notion of making an exception and trying to gain acceptance for some 20 million people who add a tremendous burden to our economy in the use of public assistance programs, the loss of employment to individuals who can be paid lower wages because their status doesn't permit them to report unfair labor-wage practices, the blind eye turned to the growing problem of identity theft in order to provide illegals with forged documents, and the like.

I do not understand government agencies not only granting public assistance to illegals, but ENCOURAGING THEM TO APPLY FOR IT.

What is wrong with our thinking?

I can sum it up in one word: Inverted.
