The Obama administration is taking legal action against Arizona to prevent their state Senate bill 1070 from becoming law, while continuing to ignore “sanctuary” cities in America who thwart federal immigration laws and openly announce they will refuse to enforce or obey them.  I suppose it is selective enforcement of the law based on politics.

Arizona is only trying to protect its citizens and partner with the federal government to solve a serious problem.

Immigration and controlling our borders are federal duties listed in our Constitution.  No one has to make it up.  Arizona, however, is only mirroring federal law without attempting to deport anyone [deportation must be done by the Feds].  Congress passed immigration laws in 1996 which give states certain rights and the ability to help enforce immigration laws.   A large majority of American citizens support Arizona in its efforts.  Federal cases in the recent past have ruled that states have the right to enforce immigration laws.

With high unemployment one would think it would be important to make sure only legal residents can acquire jobs.  There are over seven million illegal immigrants working in American, and less than 12% of them are involved in agricultural related jobs.  The state of North Carolina has borrowed over $2.4 billion from the federal government since the end of 2008 to pay unemployment insurance claims.   I guess cheap illegal immigrant labor isn’t so cheap after all.

What could be more important than protecting citizens and making sure they have access to jobs in the USA?  Apparently politics and pandering for votes are more important!

With the state budget nearing real completion, it is time to press for passage of NC Senate Bill S.1258 which would keep illegal immigrants from enrolling in our state Community Colleges.  The NC Community College Board [most are political appointees, ten of whom by the Governor] late last year gave approval for illegal immigrants to attend our state Community Colleges.

With over 10% unemployment in North Carolina (if not for temporary US Census Bureau workers and other government workers being hired last month, the unemployment rate in North Carolina would have actually increased by 3,200) our state should be focusing on putting citizens back to work, NOT training illegal immigrants for jobs.

We CAN stop this nutty policy to allow illegal immigrants access to our NC Community Colleges, but it will now take state legislation due to the vote of the NC Community College Board.
