Re: Foxx's bill would affect only a few states

So what? THe new health care reform would only help a minority of people. Should we disregard it because of that? If you are going to use CENSUS data to district the state, then count ONLY the legal voters. If you want to count illegals in the CENSUS then count them separate and don't use them for redistricting. That is common sense that appears to be scarce lately.

I completely agree. If they are counted, then redistricting will occur based on total numbers, and not legitimate voters. But, why not document them as you do the census and send someone to lock them up and deport them? Works for me.

Amen,

Illegals should not have representation in our Congress, nor should they be counted in the reapportionment.

Business as usual in the License and Theft. It doesn't seem to bother Bev. This is the way DMV has operated for many years and I don't expect any changes. Senator Rand still calls the shots.

It looks as though Verizon got away with a low pay-off compared to other lobbyists and special interests. :-))))

It is time that the North Carolina State took care of its own people. Starting with Mental Health Care services being restore. Rutherford County,NC has been hit hard. We need Heath care and JoBs.

Re: Board to admit illegal immigrants

The Democrats are looking to the long term.

Once illegal immigrants are granted immunity, they will register as Democrats. The Democrats will say, "We took care of you when those right wingers called you 'illegals.' We were the ones who got you into college."

It's a smart move on the part of the Democrats. They are building a voting block which will dominate both state and national politics within a few decades. The 'once illegal' vote will become the most important voting block our nation has ever seen.

The Democrats are smart. That's why they stay in power.

Our governor does not seem to care for North Carolina as does her Lt. Gov who voted to keep illegals out of the community college system. She could have been more forceful is telling the board her feelings. To please - Janet Cowell, get the Feds to do their job and send the illegals back from whence they come and we won't have an uneducated public. North Carolina was once listed as the easiest state for illegals to get driver licenses, now we will be number 1 in educating them. Why don't we add the word Illegals to the bottom of the Welcome to North Carolina signs at our states borders. Here's hoping the General Assembly will do the Governors wishes when they bring up the matter in session. This noise about paying out of state tuition is blowing smoke. We all know they pool their resources to attain a goal. Thats like building a wall to keep ants out - a waste. Whats needed is protection for residents of North Carolina now and in the future.

Re: Who's at fault?

No one is at fault.

We now live in the age of Obama-Liberalism in which the teacher explains to us that no one is responsible for anything. (A no-fault lifestyle.) Once we accept that no one is at fault and accept that hope & change will bring only happiness will we find inner peace. I believe that highly educated illegal immigrants are our future.

Informed, you're a paragon of bipartisanship, the voice of reason, and so moderate I just about can't stand it.

Thank you for educating me about both my divisiveness and how our President isn't even from here. You, Sir, are a genius (assuming of course that you work for the NCDP Irony Dept. If not, wow.)

You can't make this stuff up.

GB, you're a poster child for the divisive politics which plague this great nation. I've never understood why liberals hated GWB, except he was in the way of democrats in congress who presided over the global financial crisis and are now plotting the the next 15 months of unconstitional undoing, until the next election puts a stop on the runaway socialist agenda of a Kenyan born alien who never applied for citizenship and who claimed to be a foreign student as an Indonesian on financial aid forms at Occidental College. Nothing good is going to come out of this presidency, except in your deluded fantasies. The sooner the voters wake up and put an end to it, the better for all of us, comrade.

Gigglebox either needs to come up with proof or shut up.

Birthers are funny.

Make more threats "PaulTerrell," but feel free to tread like a 320 pound man that can't do otherwise.

I bet you're from Kenya too. Prove otherwise or shut up. Do you even have a belly button?

Gigglebox either needs to come up with proof or shut up. WHy? because Gigglebox is committing slander to Myrick's husband. You anon momiker cannot save you from a court order. Sue may be a politican but her husband is not. Tread very lightly Gigglebox.
