Rules for illegal immigrants in local community colleges may change

I don't think there would not be an immigration problem if it wasn't for so many non law abiding citizens. Do any of you really think there would be so many illegals here if there wasn't any work for them? The people that are evading taxes by hiring illegals under the table are the problem. How can you really blame a people for wanting to better themselves? I mean unless of course your a Native American. I do not see any real change until the people that hire illegals are targeted and prosecuted. How hard could it be? I mean, if you suspect or know of a illegal ... you follow him to work. I'm sick and tired of seeing TV commercials about how so and so got me out of owning the IRS 400k and I only paid a nickel. I look at this country of mine and I see things falling apart. Never seems to be any money for anything. But I also see a lot more personal stuff ... and big houses. Can't be because we don't pay as much taxes as we used to. It's because so many people out there cheat on their taxes. So the illegals are here, I sure do wish they were paying taxes. Because if the man that hired them was paying his, and they were paying theirs ..... I would say .... yes ... they and/or their children should be allowed to attend community college. I see illegals everywhere I go ... but when I see them working, I never see one of them leaning on the shovel, They are all working. Maybe some educated Latino's could help this country out. I also say that if they work and pay taxes, for "X" amount of years, we should think about letting them apply for citizenship.

We give them free health care, housing and food. So, why not give them free education. That way they can still be under paid, and send money home. Then you have people here on a Visa and they cannot go to college. I remember seeing that the last time this came up. I think it is time to remove everyone from office and put people in with some common sense......

Has it not yet occured to you that as a state, North Carolina is at the forefront of "all things liberal?" The people you elected and the people they appointed don't particularly CARE what you think about illegal immigrants. It is all part of a national movement within the Democrat's left wing to establish a borderless, Socialist Utopia....and most conservative Republicans don't protest TOO loudly because of the economic benefits we reap from an immense pool of cheap labor. Are you also foolish enough to believe that illegal immigrants won't be allowed access to healthcare under the proposed Obamacare? No...of course it won't be in the legislation! It wasn't in the original Medicaid legislation, either, but just as we saw with Medicaid, wait until some slap-happy Socialist federal judge rules from the bench that illegal immigrants must have access to public financed health insurance. You better wake up and realize that the Democrats are trying to consolidate their power, trying to hold onto their total control of the government until their destructive work is done. In that light, if you are a member of ANY marginalized group, be it illegal immigrants, gays and Lesbians, any and every minority, even convisted felons, you can expect the Democrats to bend over backward to kiss your fanny as they expect you to repay them some day in the voting booth. Of course, if you're a productive, responsible American citizen, you're nothing more than a well of money to be tapped to them. It's your "patriotic duty" to subsidize illegal immigrants at CFCC. Those of you who foolishly voted for Obama, Perdue, Hagan, et al can feel very "patriotic" over the next few years as you see your taxes rise, possibly to pre-Reagan rates. Fortune magazine predicts that every single taxpayer is going to see their taxes rise 55% in the coming years to pay down the existing debt, not even including Obamacare or the hidden taxes of Cap-n-Trade. We're watching North Carolina and indeed the entire United States die right in front of us, and it's going to take more than message board posts, calls to talk radio, and TEA parties to save it.

Why is this topic even being considered. Illegal immigrants have broken the law by being in the US. Our appointed leaders are possibly giving them the right to attend college. Is this a joke? Noone should be rewarded for breaking the law. I still can not figure out why a child born on US soil to illegal immigrants is automatically a US citizen. Our representatives in Congress need to come back to reality. I hope citizens start paying attention to this injustice and hold them accountable come re-election time.

using this as an opportunity? When the "illegal" immigrant is at the Registrar's desk, let a member of INS review his or her paperwork. Here illegally, go directly to jail and be on your way to your home land in 48 hours. No Fuss, No Mess, No Appeal. Of course, on the other hand the Governor may again withdrawl funds from the Coomunity College system to balance other aspects of the state budget. No Funds, No College.

The problem is not illegal aliens, our problem is corruption within our own government. Every last one of the politicians needs to be voted OUT in order to make sure we send the right ones home. If the illegals were denied all rights and all privileges, they would go home on their own accord and never return. The exceptions would return legally, through the system. Until then, no work, no school, no health care. Are you listening Washington, Raleigh, Wilmington? NO MORE!

What should they pay? How about full price. They should receive no government assistance whatsoever as they don't put anything into the treasury. Where do the bleeding hearts end? I guess a man who rapes a mother and her daughter also has a right to free education, right? After all, he is a victim of society? Give me a break, if you are illegal or do something you give your right to any of my money, if you had a right to claim it as yours to begin with.

Once again TIIC show how big of idiots they really are. Come on now do they actually think the tax paying public will let them get away with this for long. They are community colleges, paid for by the community for the use of the community. Not for an illegal alien. Illegals are criminals. They are here unlawfully. They should not enjoy the privileges of citizens who are taxpayers. No jobs for them, no education for them, no medical care for them at the expense of the lawful taxpaying citizens. If they want the perks they need to abide by the rules. Stop this lunacy.

Why do we even think about this? That is what is wrong now. If you aren't suppose to be here than you shouldn't. They should have to pay just like everybody else that goes there. I couldn't believe the amount of paper work that I have had to go through with my child to go to CFCC. If she is 24 or with child or married she don't need her parents to sign anything. But she sure can sign up and go fight for this country. If you are not here under this country's rules and law , THEN get on the next thing smoke back out of town. Enough is enough. IF they get the illegels in the school that gives them more FEDERAL $ for the school.

Why would the community colleges even consider letting an illegal immigrant attend our schools? The system leaders need to remember who pays their salaries. It is not the parents of these illegal children as they do not even pay taxes! Why should these children take up the places that need to be used by the children of tax payers? If these children graduate, where are they going to work? They will still be illegal immigrants. Are they going to pay taxes? NO. What part of the word "ILLEGAL" do the system leaders not understand? Maybe they need to go back to school. I don't have a college education, but I certainly understand the meaning of the word "illegal". As soon as the school can determine that the children are illegal, they (and their family) should be deported. Then, if they want to be citizens, let them apply the through the proper channels.

Is this a joke? They are illegal!!!! If an illegal immigrant is accepted before a US Citizen there are some serious issues here!

tg2104 I couldnt care less where people come from or what they look like, but if you are going to move to a different country, do it "legally". Why should we, as citizens and tax payers pay for someone who is here"illegally" to go to college and take a course that should be given to a citizen who has a "legal" right to be there over someone who is there"illegally"?

Why is this even a question? NO ILLEGAL IMIGRANTS IN OUR COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY OUR SCHOOLS!

Wait, I think the key word here is "Illegal". Definition: Illegal, or unlawful, is used to describe something that is prohibited or not authorized by law or, more generally, by rules specific to a particular situation.
