FACT:  The North Carolina General Assembly [aka State Legislature] is controlled by the majority party, the Democrats.  Their leadership has let us know they will refuse to allow state legislation to keep illegal immigrants from enrolling in our State Community Colleges from coming up for a vote in committee.  Last fall the NC Community College Board [mostly Democrat appointees by Democrat Governor Perdue] voted to allow illegal immigrants to attend our Community Colleges in order to be better trained to in effect take jobs from citizens and/or new jobs.  This in lieu of the fact that in our state we have over 10% unemployment.

FACT:  A resolution to permit the consideration of Arizona-like legislation in the North Carolina General Assembly was also disallowed for consideration by the Democrat leadership in this recent session.

FACT:  This is the fourth year in a row the state Democrat leadership [majority party in control] of the North Carolina General Assembly has kept legislation to take action against illegal immigrants (in ways the state can take action) from even being voted upon.  Bills are introduced [last year eleven of them, ten by Republicans] and the Democrat leadership refuses year after year to even allow a vote.  This year they said they didn’t have time, but they voted on numerous frivolous bills instead.  I guess pandering to illegal immigrants for future votes is most important to them, not what’s best for citizens, many of whom are unemployed.

FACT:  Today President Obama and his Dept of Justice have officially sued the State of Arizona over its immigration enforcement legislation.   The borders are porous, workplace enforcement under Obama is almost non-existent, and our government is now checking 100% of the trains going south into Mexico, not the other way around.   To sue Arizona is again an attempt to pander as much as possible to Hispanic voters before the November elections.  It is outrageous.

FACT:  A U.S. federal judge has allowed the Country of Mexico to file a brief against the Arizona immigration law also.  I wish I was making this up, but I am not.   What’s wrong with this picture?  When did a foreign government get the right to interfere with American law?

SOON TO BE FACT:  I hope you will exercise your right to vote in November and remember the facts as they are.  NC LISTEN intends to be bipartisan, but we are going to state the facts as they are.  How much longer must we put up with this nonsense?  What are you prepared to do about it?   Will you take action and get involved?
