Yesterday, Mike Easley said that we should let Illegal Immigrants go to NC community colleges for free!  What are we going to next, give them free gas!?  This really makes me mad, I am a 22 year old college student trying to pay out of pocket for all my school and books and I'm just about broke and I will have to end up paying for illegals to go to college FREE, I don't like it one bit!. 

I can't even get any help whatsoever!  I know some of you whether parents or students are im my same shoes.  Mike Easley, you need to stop and look around!  ANOTHER THING!  If we do give them free tution and free books and they go to college we are going to have the same problem with the language issue that we are in Elementary/middle/high school now!  What if the illegals (going to school FREE of charge) drop out of school?  What are you going to say about that Mike?  You let illegals go to school, screwing the students that try and want to make a living for themselves like me! 

I am going to be paying $150 for ONE book for this summer class I will be taking, 

Do something about the Book prices Mike to help the NC/U.S. citizens!  Mike you've already endorsed Hillary, you need to GO!

I agree with you there shouldn't be any free college or anything else for illegals. If we didn't make it so prosperous for them as an illegal alien they would follow the proper channels to seek citizenship. If you look at California you can see what uncontrolled immigration does. Take a look at this video it makes things very clear if we don't stop immigration the way it is now it is going to do irreperable harm to the U.S.

Just plain sad to see, and to think, he is an elected official. There's your tax dollars at work. We already give them housing, food, medical aid and regular education... now we are going to give them college education. All while they are here illegally. Illegally! I have a question for you Mr. Easley. Are you going to give free college to all the real, honest-to-goodness, tax-paying American?? I have a child that will be needing college pretty soon, does she get to go free too?

All ICE officals would need to do is visit local soccer fields and Wal-Mart's on Saturdays and Sundays. They would catch half the illegals right there. Figure after a month of those type of raids most would be gone and the ones still here would be finding a way out quick.

He said nothing about free. He stated that anyone over 18 and/or with a high school diploma. If you aren't a Native American Indian, then you too are an immigrant. They aren't just Mexicans and they are competing for the same dollars you are. Don't just read the headlines.

Remember the word ILLEGAL, which means they aren't authorized to be here in the first place! Whether they are over 18 and have a High School Diploma or not, it's not right that they can go to college FREE. I'm over 18 and have a high school diploma.

Obviously, Governor Easley believes his illegals should be treated better than his voting constitutients. Anyway, he is on his way out and we are all the better for it.

Better start counting your pesos.

You are incorrect about what you think you read: THEY DON'T GET A FREE EDUCATION.

"Of the nearly 300,000 curriculum students in community colleges statewide, 112 are illegal immigrants, according to the latest state figures. Twenty-seven of the 200,000 students in the University of North Carolina system are illegal immigrants." according to immigration officials. You are telling me that 139 illegal immigrants in the whole state system are keeping you from getting an education.

Just remember this in November and listen carefully to the contenders for govenor and vote for the one that will get rid of the illegals.
MM, if that is true, then there should be 112 fewer students in the colleges next week. ICE should be on campus Monday morning and solve the problem.

It's no use when it comes to illegal immigrants people get brain lock not only did it not say free they are also charge the higher costing out of state tuition. I feel education should be free to anyone who can maintain a 3.0 grade point avg. but then it's hard to control an intelligent population, so the government would rather keep you dumb and operating of emotion.

Just_Me_07,

I got the statistics from ICE. The immigrant situation is not going away. Every child born here is an American citizen. Political and grass roots organizations who are looking to elect a candidate choose hot-button topics like immigration, to pull voters to their candidates. Again proves the point that you should believe only what you see and not what you hear. Axe, shhh, we're going to need those people to work and pay taxes, once the election is over.

No MM, I am not, I am saying that it is not right for the government to help ILLEGAL immigrants pay for college when there are U.S. citizens needing help more. I am in college and going to stay in college until I have my degree!

Read mine and Axe's posting. They are NOT getting help paying for college. ICE official told NC that there is no law to keep them out of the colleges, therefore Gov. Easley has officially opened the door. That door was already open. Gov. Easley was only announcing it to let them know it was available. Not happy with that? Call your congressman and let them know. All the other bloggers can do is agree or disagree.

Just use common sense here...if illegal immigrants are allowed to go to college, they will get it free, they get everything else free!

You're 22 and at least a part time student. That means all the taxes you pay in, you get back, so how are you providing for illegals? I am using common sense. I used it to read everything I could about Gov Easley's announcement, before I responded to your blog. I don't discount that illegal immigration hurts some of us. Our federal government has the authority to police the borders and stop illegal immigration. They aren't doing it. Why?

I'll tell you why because they stimulate the economy more than the average citizen that’s why. Look up the article about the New Jersey Town that pass a law and ran all the illegals out in less than 10 months the merchants sued the city for the revenue loss when the illegals were forced out. They spend money and BLEEP and whine way less. Have you geniuses ever stopped to think that if they can put a number on the illegals then they could round them up. well its not going to happen bush nor any politician is going to stop illegals too much money and cheap labor at stake.

Illegals are like drugs. If our government wanted to stop it, no doubt it could. It does not wish to. To many benefits from both and too many additional problems if it does.

Axekick, I remember that article about the town in New Jersey that did that. And you, MM, and HH are right, the government doesn't WANT to do anything about getting the illegals out or they would have already done so! Catfish, I know your pain, since my last book (an Algebra book) was $187.56! What I think is a 'hoot' is that what I have been 'griping about' all along, about the Armed Services (i.e. the Army) always has used that the people who signed up would get a 'college education' but they weren't telling them that the money for it would come out of their paycheck twice per month!!! Now, we hear that they want to pay a law so that any veteran who has served at least 3 years can go to an in-state university and have a stipend for their housing (dorm, etc.)! Also, they have up to 15 years to go to college (in other words, they don't have to go to college as soon as they get out of the Army). Now, how about that? And they have always advertised that if you join you would get a 'college education' as a part of joining the ARMY!!! I TOLD YOU ALL THAT THIS WAS A LIE, and now they are finally letting the citizens know that what I was saying is the truth, LOL!!! Whew, politicians, ROFL!!!

Hey everyone! I am an avid weather fan and I am planning on becoming a Meteorologist one day. I am 21 yrs. old and I attend a local Community College where I'm working on my Associate in Science degree. I am planning on transfering to another college after a couple more years to study Meteorology. I graduated from a Christian School in 2005. On our Senior trip, we took a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. It was awesome! I would love to back! I was in the NHS, student gov't, and Journalism class at my high school.
