Furthermore, th...What Were They Thinking? - PART 2<br /><br />Furthermore, the people of NC are opposed to allowing illegals to attend community college, as illustrated by the Civitas Institute Decision Maker Poll Results of NC voters:<br />- 68% of N.C. voters oppose allowing illegal immigrants to enroll in community colleges (February 2008).<br /><br />Another poll just released this week by the American Council for Immigration Reform (ANCIR) indicates that 78% of Americans are against amnesty for illegal aliens with the same percentage stating that they believe illegals have had a substantial negative impact on the quality and cost of our health care system. Obviously, you can infer that Americans do not want illegals in our educational system beyond which we are already federally coerced to do so. <br /><br />The statements you hear from advocates for illegal aliens in favor of them having access to our colleges generally flow around their claim that better educated illegals will be more productive and will assimilate better into our society. This is not only fuzzy thinking, it is faulty logic. It’s very precept is that the illegal gets additional benefits to what they have already enjoyed by illegally remaining and operating here and gives a segment of them what they want – unfettered access to our higher education system (in addition to our primary and secondary education system that they have already utilized). This, of course, will be costly to the American taxpayer whether the illegal pays out of state tuition or not. It also deprives a deserving citizen or legal immigrant of the seat that the illegal would occupy. Another marketing campaign is that a child should not be penalized because of the ‘sins’ of their parents. Allowing access to higher education, however, allows the child to benefit from the fact their parents broke the law and continue to remain here illegally.<br /><br />I take exception to NCCCS reporting that ‘only’ a hundred or so illegal aliens are currently enrolled. This is a false and hollow number because it relies on self-reporting and not many illegal immigrants are going to truthfully report their immigration status. I do not believe the admissions office takes any action to investigate or determine status. The number is much larger than what they are officially reporting, and likely numbers in the thousands.<br /><br />Admitting illegal immigrants to our community colleges is a slap in the face and a hit in the pocketbook to citizens, legal immigrants and their children. It is apparent that the NC CCS board is willfully unwilling to stand up for the rule of law and the LEGAL residents of North Carolina. They obviously have no concept of the definition of “illegal” when coupled with the term immigrant in rendering their egregiously infuriating decision.zeezilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807811591365315096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22040291.post-62382897443321560672009-10-04T17:22:23.264-04:002009-10-04T17:22:23.264-04:00What Were They Thinking? - PART 1
What are the un...What Were They Thinking? - PART 1<br /><br />What are the unelected bureaucrats sitting on the NC CCS board who are actually public servants and are paid through our hard earned tax dollars thinking? Or, perhaps the better question would be…are they thinking of the welfare of the American citizen and the legal residents of North Carolina? Or, are they insulated elitists bending to the will of destructive special interests? We have 11% unemployment and climbing in North Carolina. WHY ARE THEY NOT FOCUSING WHAT STATE RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE FOR EDUCATING AND TRAINING UNEMPLOYED CITIZENS FOR JOBS INSTEAD OF FINDING WAYS TO FACILITATE PLACING ILLEGAL ALIENS INTO OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM?<br /><br />It is beyond the pale that citizen taxpayers are already forced by a miscreant Supreme Court decision to educate illegal alien children through high school and you want to extend educational benefits to illegals in college! Don’t even begin the argument that they will pay their own way because that is absurd. Don’t forget, illegal aliens are called illegal because they are illegally present in the country. Providing educational benefits to illegals only begets more illegal immigration just as providing free medical services, employment, and anchor baby citizenship that opens our entire welfare benefit system to the family.<br /><br />As a citizen of North Carolina, I am appalled by the State Board allowing illegal aliens to attend our community colleges. It is violation of law that illegal aliens are allowed into colleges at all. I would argue that it is in violation of the 'aiding and abetting' statute in the 1986 IRCA (Immigration Reform and Control Act). Even if illegal aliens were to pay out of state tuition, it would not cover the entire cost of their education because of capital costs, often not figured fully into the total cost calculations per student. Therefore, taxpayer subsidization of illegal aliens would occur. Also, why would the Board allow an illegal alien to take a seat in college from a deserving American citizen or legal immigrant? Seats in all of our post-secondary facilities are a limited and highly coveted resource, so why would you put an illegal alien into one? Why should we be in the business of educating and training a group of people who are illegally here and cannot legally be employed? Could they unequivocally state and prove that not one single tax dollar would be used and not one single citizen or LEGAL immigrant would be affected by illegal aliens attending our community colleges? This decision flies in the face of the rule of law. Instead, we should demand that that illegals are not entering the system by requiring the use of verification tools. I recommend mandating the use of the S.A.V.E (Systematic Alien Verification Entitlements) System to certify all applicants are legally present in the U.S.zeezilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807811591365315096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22040291.post-39964984741091820302009-10-04T17:04:16.059-04:002009-10-04T17:04:16.059-04:00The Cost of Illegal Immigration to North Carolinia...The Cost of Illegal Immigration to North Carolinians<br /><br />Familarize yourself with the latest study just released on the impact of illegal immigration to North Carolinians here: http://www.fairus.org/site/DocServer/nc_costs.pdf?docID=2441<br /><br />You won't see its findings and contents discussed by the dinosaur media because they'd rather you not be aware. In short, it costs our state $1.3 billion annually for just incarceration - emergency medical care - education services to illegal immigrants. That figure does not include English instruction, law enforcement/courts, translators, assistance for public housing, food stamps, welfare payments, etc. Other factors not considered in the reports are job losses by citizens to illegal aliens and the depression of wages in the construction, landscaping, assembly, food processing and service sectors that most illegal aliens are employed in. <br /><br />Also, the cost to North Carolinians of their share of the impact that illegal immigration places on 15 federal department was not included.<br /><br />Overall, the cost of illegal immigration nationally is in excess of $100 billion annually.<br /><br />Another item gleaned from the study I cited is the remittances of $1.2 billion annually from illegal immigrants in North Carolina to Mexico. Nationwide, $26 billion in remittances is transferred from the U.S. to Mexico. This is money that is permanently transferred from our economy to a foreign country due to the lack of border control and non-enforcement of hiring laws.<br /><br />Furthermore, FAIR points out that the cost of educating a public school student in NC is $8,150 per year which translates into an annual expenditure of $975 million for illegal aliens and the U.S. born children of illegal aliens in our state. Is this alone not an outrage? Just think, using that $8,150 cost and multiplying it by 13 (K – 12 school years) produces a cost of $105,950 over the term of the illegal alien child!!! That is money forfeited by taxpayers to educate them and now the elitist donkeys on the board of the NC CCS wants to welcome illegal aliens in with open arms!!!zeezilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807811591365315096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22040291.post-18736662861923514692009-10-02T09:29:21.927-04:002009-10-02T09:29:21.927-04:00Be careful an illegal immigrant may hold your kids...Be careful an illegal immigrant may hold your kids for ransom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22040291.post-21826082311584313812009-10-01T21:50:07.071-04:002009-10-01T21:50:07.071-04:00We are witnessing a slow death of the great USA.We are witnessing a slow death of the great USA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22040291.post-46319986306493489442009-10-01T19:13:05.537-04:002009-10-01T19:13:05.537-04:00Political Correctness gone amuck will be the end o...Political Correctness gone amuck will be the end of the USA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22040291.post-48192493263350153512009-10-01T13:16:23.884-04:002009-10-01T13:16:23.884-04:00we have an educational elite composed of democrats...we have an educational elite composed of democrats kissing up to be PCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22040291.post-84825377848197216152009-10-01T07:01:49.121-04:002009-10-01T07:01:49.121-04:00They aren't qualifying academically.
