Cooper: Don't admit illegal immigrants

Apparently they do have a way to make a living because that is the only reason they are coming to this country. In additiion you should be upset that you are paying taxes to support people that are here illegally, but since you said you do not mind I guess you have plenty of money to go around and if that is the case...can I have some?

Name one person that has not gotten an opportunity at a community college because of an illegal alien....chirp, chirp, chirp, tumbleweed.

They are here, albeit illegally, and until the government startes deporting them, I do not have a problem with them getting educated and becoming a part of our civilized society, instead of living in the shadows as second class human beings. Taxes are the way in which you buy civilization and whether you want to believe it or not, they are part of civilization. My taxes go to fund the school system, guess how many kids I have? ZERO! I am not complaining about my taxes paying for the schools, because I want people to get an education so they aren’t robbing me on the street corner because they do not have a way to make a living.

"I'm just curious about what it is about educating these children that is harmful to any "American" student. I think there's far more harm to the entire community if we have a bunch of kids out on the street with no way of making a living or improving their lot in life. "

Educating them with my taxpaying dollars is harmful to every "American" student as it is taking resources away from them, plus grants a seat to an illegal instead of a citizen. If you read the NC Constitution and the establishment of the Higher Education system, it clearly states that it is for citizens and they are not citizens. Thanks and they should not be on our streets at all...they have not helped pay for them either.

I second that! People can huff and puff all they want but illegal is illegal. What example are we setting for our children when they see the government not enforcing the law and even disobeying the law?

Well done Roy Cooper. The admission of illegals takes away/hinders of a American student. Thanks Mr. Cooper for standing up for what is right.
