North Carolina Governor Candidates Oppose Admissions Change for Immigrants
Tagged: North Carolina, reporterPosted on: November 30th, 2007
The five leading candidates for North Carolina governor next year at least agree on one thing: They don’t want illegal immigrants to enroll in community colleges.
Democratic hopefuls Bev Perdue and Richard Moore joined the three top Republicans on Thursday in opposing a decision by the state community college office to mandate the enrollment of undocumented individuals on all 58 campuses.
“I don’t think that illegal aliens should be allowed to partake in community college classes,” Moore told reporters Thursday. “I have a tough time getting around the ‘illegal’ part in the immigrant. This is a nation of laws, and we have to abide by the law.”"*
