The battle over illegal immigrants attending North Carolina's community colleges took a dramatic turn Tuesday.
The North Carolina Community College System says based on an Attorney General's decision, it will no longer admit those classified as illegal or undocumented immigrants into curriculum degree programs.
The change takes effect immediately.
A news release say the AG opinion places no restriction on high school students taking any community college classes or on any adult who seeks non-college level courses which include GED, Adult High School, ESL, and continuing education classes.
Last week Governor Mike Easley said he supported allowing illegal immigrants to attend community colleges saying federal law wasn't clear.

I agree with DAVIS from Washington 110%~!! Either become an American citizen and pay taxes or go home. I'm sick of it too. My kids took 6 years of Spanish in elementary school--NOT by choice either~!! I say move the darn White House to the Texas boarder. I bet the boarder patrol will pick up then.....

Let's have a show of hands how many Americans are sick and tired of illegals whining about amnesty,demanding the perks of citizenship and having the audacity to parade around in numbers waving Mexican flags in our country. How about the liberals who cry about needing their cheap work force of illegals and the politicians selling us out on immigration issues for a few lousy votes from immigrants and special interest groups. Your country has literally been invaded and the sovereignty of this nation is at stake. Go to walmart in Washington on a weekend and look around if you doubt what I'm saying. Go to your local post office and see if there aren't Hispanics sending money home on jobs their not paying taxes on. How exactly does this help our economy? The idea of my children being forced to learn Spanish in school and my tax dollars paying for bilingual teachers etc. absolutly infuriates me.

Concerning the last post from Anonymous,about "you American being blind",his key phrase that tells tons about him is his use of "you Americans"...I assume he or she is NOT an American so they don't really care about this country except for the benefits they can steal....I am sick of being ripped off by illegals...if only some of our government officials would get some backbone and send them all back home where they belong...and don't whine about how necessary they are...when you see them standing in line with Food Stamps and having babies and getting WIC,they ARE ripping us all off....If we don't stick together and get them all gone,this country will go downhill fast....
