Action Alert: Keep Illegal Aliens Out of Our Community Colleges
Concerned Citizens and Immigration Reformers,
IT’S NOT OVER. WE can still stop illegals from attending our North Carolina Community Colleges. There are a few steps yet for the NC Community College Board to take before it is “official”. We have a plan to stop the Board in their tracks.
IF YOU HAVE NOT AS YET EMAILED THE NC COMMUNITY BOARD, PLEASE DO SO BEFORE DECEMBER 15th.
As you have heard, the North Carolina Community College Board has announced they intend to allow illegal aliens to attend our state Community Colleges. Our state just recently announced there are 20,000 more citizens who now want to attend our state Community Colleges [58 campuses across the state] than there is space, due to the economy and high unemployment.
Our state unemployment rate is nearly 11% and state-supported Community Colleges are in place to better educate and train citizens so they can get jobs, but instead the NC Community College Board wants to help educate illegal immigrants for jobs??
HOW TO TAKE ACTION TO STOP THIS.
I mentioned above there are a few steps to take, leading up to procedures requiring the NC General Assembly being required to vote for this ruling, if we take action. So step 1 is to have “official” emails [i.e. emails sent by citizens during the official comment period between now and Dec 15th] sent to the President of the NC Community College Board.
Written objections shall be addressed to President, NC Community College System Office, 5001 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699.
Then email your comments to: publiccomments@nccommunitycolleges.edu
TALKING POINTS to use to send to the NC Community College Board:
- With 11% unemployment shouldn’t our North Carolina Community College System focus our limited state resources on training/educating unemployed citizens for jobs? If we allow illegal immigrants to attend state Community Colleges at any of the over 50 campuses across NC, won’t we be helping illegal immigrants take jobs that should be reserved for only legal residents?
- Also when one is illegally in our Country and graduating as a high school student [now an adult] he/she can return to their native Country to go to college or trade school. And it is against federal law to aid and abet an illegal immigrant. If our NC Community Colleges [knowingly] allow illegal alien immigrants in America to attend state-supported Community College, isn’t this providing aid to an illegal immigrant?
- Lastly, it is a violation of federal law to hire someone illegally present in America. Hence what good does it do to educate an illegal alien adult in America, if no company in America can legally hire them?
- I am against allowing illegal immigrants to attend our NC Community Colleges and insist you REQUIRE all state Community College campuses to use the federal S.A.V.E. [Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements] System to make sure all applicants are legally present in the USA.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR TAKING ACTION. After you send an email, please copy me on the email sent so that I can track our progress.
IT WILL BE AN OUTRAGE IF WE STAND BY AND LET ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ATTEND OUR STATE-SUPPORTED COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND THEN TAKE JOBS THAT SHOULD GO TO CITIZENS, especially with such high citizen unemployment. Our fellow citizens are hurting, so please be a patriot and help.
IN ADDITION THERE IS A HEARING IN RALEIGH ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18th FROM 10AM TO 12:30PM. MORE TO FOLLOW ON THIS. PUT A PLACEHOLDER ON YOUR CALENDAR TO ATTEND THIS HEARING.
Send this email to your friends and associates.
More to follow.

I am appalled that our educators would entertain the idea of supporting enrollment of “illegal imigrants” in our colleges. What message are we sending our students simply by the fact that we seem to be ignoring that these students are “illegal”.Is this word not in the college vocabulary?
In North Carolina we have 11% of our residents unemployed. This means that their children may not be able to afford to attend college, especially with tutions being raised all over the country. What we are being told by your action is that the TAX PAYING, citizens of this state are being overlooked and illegal immigrants are being given priority. The only motivation for your university may be that the government is making it worth your while. Not suprising ! Your decision will affect this state and its residents for years to come. Something you and your committee will have to live with.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Hardy, RN and student
