Tonight (Nov. 15) NC LISTEN attempted to speak at a public forum at the Durham City Council meeting, after having registered to speak as required, and was not allowed to speak against the Durham City Council’s plan to recognize the Mexican Matricula Consular card as a valid form of ID in the city.   However if you were an illegal immigrant in Durham, you were allowed to speak.

Since we were not allowed to speak, myself and many other immigration reform supporters stood up and left the Council meeting.  Interestingly enough, at the beginning of the meeting, the Pledge of Allegiance was spoken, however since illegal immigrants were bused to the Council meeting and I looked back from the front of the room during the Pledge, one half of the people in the room were NOT reciting the Pledge of Allegiance nor even crossing their arm over their heart.

The Matricula Consular card is only used in the USA by illegal immigrants, since if one is here legally there would be no need for it because you would have a valid stamped passport or valid visa or already be a citizen.   In some cities in California this card is being used to allow illegal immigrants to vote for local candidates in local elections.

In the case of Durham it will permit the Durham Police to accept the Matricula Consular card as a valid ID, hence illegals will not be taken to jail for lack of a valid USA identification document.

So Durham is turning against its own citizens who need jobs and better public safety to pander to (I suppose) future voters.  There is absolutely no benefit to citizens for this policy, and actually it will hurt citizens due to assisting the illegals to remain in our Country, take jobs, use many public benefits (illegals and their dependents) at a time when we can’t adequately take care of our own elderly poor and money for schools is tight, our government is up to its eyeballs in debt, etc.

There will be a NEXT STEP to prevent this nonsense from happening in other NC cities.   Stay tuned to us and stay tuned to what your local government might be doing.

The Durham City Council is meeting this coming Monday evening, Nov. 15th at 7:00 pm at 101 City Hall Plaza in Durham, and they are planning to vote to accept the Mexican Matricula Consular ID card as a legal form of ID in the city of Durham.

We all know the Mexican Matricula Consular  ID card is only used in the USA by illegal immigrants attempting to thwart our immigration laws.   If they were here legally they would have a passport or valid visa or green card.  I believe the “real reason” is to attempt to do what has been done in certain instances on the West Coast — to allow illegal immigrants the right to vote in local elections.

Why is the City of Durham concerned with helping the Mexican government and illegal immigrants stay in North Carolina in violation of our immigration laws?  One would think the City of Durham would be more interested in assisting OUR Government and to make sure all jobs go to legal residents.

I will be speaking against this proposal at the Durham City Council meeting.  Illegal immigrant advocates will be at the meeting, so we need you to attend in support of America and the rule of law.  We need you to attend this meeting.   If we don’t take action, the other side wins.

Recently, the NC College Board decided to allow illegal aliens to enroll in North Carolina Community Colleges. Only a few months of internal procedures remain before this rule goes into effect.

Our state unemployment rate is over 10%. Why should the State of North Carolina be assisting illegal aliens to become better educated in order to steal jobs which belong to unemployed citizens?

According to the N.C. Employment Security Commission our state has had to borrow nearly $2 billion [yes, billion] dollars this year from the federal government to pay unemployment benefits, because the state unemployment insurance trust fund is in the red.  They estimate our state may need to borrow another $2 billion through the course of 2010.

NC LISTEN is asking that the citizens of North Carolina sign a petition asking the North Carolina General Assembly to pass legislation to prevent illegal aliens from enrolling in our North Carolina Community Colleges and the University of North Carolina System.
