Personally I would prefer that the North Carolina school maintain it’s prior policy of allowing only those illegal immigrants who are over 18 and graduated from High School. I would rather have an illegal immigrant still continuing their education that some uneducated illegal immigrant. If they did, then they should not be allowed to have the lower in-state tuition rates. Since they are illegal, then technically they are not legal residents of the state, so they should pay the higher non-resident tuition. Also, if there is a waiting list for a class, then the legal residents/citizens get priority before an illegal immigrant.

Too late now:

The illegals shot themselves in their collective feet 2 years ago with their illegal immigrants' 'rights' rallies and the repercussions are still being felt.

How about that faucet is turned off entirely and they all go back across the border, get their DOCUMENTATION IN ORDER, and come back LEGALLY!

Oh no, that's asking them to OBEY THE LAWS!

If they've been here for so long, why not petition their government for some documentation when they cross the border, get a visa and work permit that way? If they wanna work here, DO IT LEGALLY! If they want to have access to HIGHER EDUCATION GO THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS LIKE EVERY OTHER FOREIGN NATIONAL WHO GOES TO SCHOOLS IN THE U.S.A.

PERIOD.

No sympathy here for any of them. How long can you take advantage of our system without having a backlash? Time has come for them to realize that they are not welcome here until they go through the process LEGALLY! STAND IN LINE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS GONE THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS TO COME HERE! NO AMNESTY!!!!

From the way I see it, the illegal immigrant trying to go to community college is not some illegal border crosser but the child of one. Now that child has graduated High School and should enjoy the benefit of continuing their education. They already demonstrated their willingness to be a part of the system by graduating High School. Hopefully the higher tuition and being continually placed at the end of the line behind citizens and legal residents will pressure the illegal to try to obtain citizenship.

However of the parents, that’s a different situation and not one I’m arguing for. I’m strictly for the children who followed their parents, stayed in school, and are still trying to continue their education. They should be given the option, just not with full privileges until they become citizens.

I must concur. I do not believe illegal aliens should receive in-state tuition, although several states offer it. IMO, in-state tuition legitimizes their status in this country by affording them benefits reserved for legal citizens.

I also agree with AzBear -- the damage is done. It also doesn't help their cause by having a website oozing with an ingrate entitlement mentality, and vulgar tirades.

I agree with madicarus reasoning. The child of a illegal immigrant that wants to continue their education is a big plus.

I agree with everything but citizenship. Granted, they had no control over being brought to this country by their parents. However, to grant citizenship, is to reward their parents for their lawlessness; not to mention, serves as an incentive for other parents to illegally bring their children to this country. I simply cannot condone any form of amnesty. Furthermore, many of these ‘children’ are now grown, and responsible for their own actions.

Who is talking about amnesty? I specifically stated that the illegal immigrant “try to obtain citizenship”. That keeps them responsible for their actions.

I have no problem, as long as they "try to obtain citizenship" while waiting in their country of origin. Anything short of getting in the back of the line would in fact be amnesty. They are still in this country illegally, and should not be on a “path to citizenship” ahead of those who chose to take the legal route.
