Utah shifts its path on fighting illegal immigration, considers integrating some

Published on: 14th August, 2010 |

CENTERFIELD, UTAH — Just weeks ago, Utah seemed destined to become the next state to draw a rigid line against illegal immigration. Lawmakers were completing work on a proposal similar to the one Arizona had approved, authorizing police to check the immigration status of those suspected of being in… Immigration – United States – Anti-Immigration – Utah – Law

PHOENIX — When state Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D) travels outside Arizona, she hears the same question over and over: “What’s wrong with your state?” She notes Arizona’s new immigration law, its ban on ethnic studies classes and its prohibition on creating animal-human hybrids.

Obama Administration: “Lawless”

Published on: 24th May, 2010 |

Respected columnist Charles Krauthammer minces no words in this video when discussing the Obama administration’s response to Arizona’s newly passed illegal immigration law. I am glad to see that someone has finally called this Administration what it is…”LAWLESS”!

We are supposed to be so impressed with Obama’s Harvard Law credentials. A freshman undergrad better understands than this Harvard Law Student and former Editor of the Harvard Law Review that it’s the Federal Government’s primary responsibility to enforce the Constitution, respect the rights of the States, and protect America and Americans from those violating our laws and placing our citizens, our economy, and our public institutions at risk!

Duh, big-time Harvard Grad!

College Educations for Illegals on Your Dime

Published on: 8th January, 2010 |

Just when you thought the world could not get any crazier, it does.  A recent public hearing by the State Board of Community Colleges demonstrated just how weird things have gotten.  The purpose of the hearing was to allow the public to speak out regarding the Board’s decision to admit illegal aliens into all the state’s community colleges.  That’s right – illegal aliens can attend our community colleges, if the pay out-of-state tuition.

Approximately 150 people showed up at the hearing on last Friday morning in Raleigh.  Many of the attendyees were Latinos, an unknown number of whom are illegally in the country.  More than 50 speeches were given, most lamenting on how unfair it was to even question the ability of illegal aliens to attend publically funded community colleges.

Some speakers, such as former UNCW Chancellor, James Leutze, said that it was ridiculous that the community college board would dare to require illegal aliens to pay out-of-state tuition.  Now does that make sense to anyone?  Think about it – when out-of-state students attend a North Carolina community college, they are expected to pay out-of-state tuition.  Somehow, in Leutze’s mind, if you are an out-of-country ILLEGAL alien you somehow rate a special privilege.

The most intelligent comment of the day came from one of the only six people in attendance who spoke out against illegal aliens attending our state’s community colleges.  His name was James Johnson with N.C. FIRE who said, “Since it is against federal and state law to hire an illegal alien, educated or not, what’s the purpose of giving an illegal alien a college education?”  This is the real point and heart of the matter.  What are we even doing discussing the education of illegal aliens who have absolutely no right to be in our country?  To even have a job, they must break several State and Federal laws.  What is the purpose of educating an illegal alien who, beyond not even being able to work in our country, has no legal or legitimate right to be here?

Supporters at the hearing even argued that better education for illegal aliens means a better future for North Carolina residents.  How is that possible?  Here’s another great quote from Leutze, who also buys into this argument: “…for individuals to compete in today’s workforce, they must be armed with appropriate training.”

Leutze is completely off the mark.  Illegal aliens cannot be part of any legal workforce.  Without legal status, they cannot legally receive a paycheck, don’t pay taxes and don’t support their local communities.  Does Leutze have any clue regarding the lawlessness that he is advocating?  For a former UNC System Chancellor, his inability to see what he is advocating is most surprising.

Don’t stop here! I purposefully made this article short and concise because I don’t want you just to accept my “spin.” Educate yourself by exploring further and by asking and answering your own questions.  See the articles that started my inquiry:
