RALEIGH - A rally Wednesday to decry illegal immigration drew about a dozen supporters.

The event outside the Legislative Building was intended to pressure lawmakers to pass restrictive laws that would drive illegal immigrants from the state.

"We need North Carolina lawmakers to take emergency legislative action," said rally organizer William Gheen of Raleigh, founder of the political action committee Americans for Legal Immigration. "The word is out from Canada to Argentina that North Carolina is the place to come to."

Gheen brought in several speakers, including immigration activists from Arizona . But they spoke mostly to reporters, who were as numerous as rally supporters.

Those who attended said they had a raft of concerns about immigration.

Some said illegal immigrants are responsible for rising healthcare costs, rising taxes, school crowding and crime. Others said they were concerned about maintaining "the rule of law" and the sovereignty of the United States .

Beaufort County wants to stem migrant influx

Kristin Collins, Staff Writer

Beaufort County, known for sweeping views of the Pamlico and Pungo rivers, is working toward a new distinction.

Leaders say they want to make their rural Eastern North Carolina county the toughest place in the country for illegal immigrants.

The county commissioners are meeting with a lawyer to help identify public services that can be denied to illegal immigrants. And in cases where it is not legal to exclude people, they say they may eliminate programs entirely -- including federally funded prenatal care for poor women -- in an attempt to drive illegal immigrants from the county.

"They're coming to the United States illegally and bringing their pregnant wife and children," said Hood Richardson, the Beaufort commissioner who is leading the charge. "Those families are falling on our social welfare systems. We can't afford that."

Beaufort County, about 100 miles east of Raleigh, has already become a leader in the state in discouraging undocumented Hispanic immigrants. The seven-member Board of Commissioners has declared English its official language, removed Spanish signs and bilingual automated phone answering systems and has begun tracking the number of Spanish-speaking people who use social services.

In April, Richardson asked the health and social services departments to determine the number of illegal immigrant clients by counting Spanish surnames.

Bills allow illegal immigrants in colleges

Illegal immigrants would continue to have access to state universities and community colleges under legislation filed this week by Democratic Reps. Pricey Harrison, Paul Luebke and Rick Glazier.

Their bill would prevent the UNC Board of Governors and the state Board of Community Colleges from requiring prospective students to disclose their immigration status. It was among the dozens of bills lawmakers filed this week just before the Wednesday deadline for legislation to be considered this session.

The bill does not prevent the universities and community colleges from charging much higher out-of-state rates for students who are not U.S. citizens. That's what they do now.

The legislation counters two other bills filed this session by Republican lawmakers that would prevent illegal immigrants from attending the state's universities and community colleges. The issue of those students' admission surfaced late last year when the community college system announced a new policy telling all 58 campuses that they should admit students regardless of their immigration status.

The national furor over that announcement led the system to get an opinion from state Attorney General Roy Cooper's office. That subsequent opinion found that the system could not admit illegal immigrants. The system has now announced it will no longer admit them. UNC officials say the issue isn't settled and therefore have not changed their policy to admit illegal immigrants.

The community colleges and the UNC system say a tiny percentage of their students are illegal immigrants.

Gov. Mike Easley has come out against barring these students from attending community colleges and UNC schools.

Laws are on the books already, just enforce the existing Immigration Laws. Enforcing them is what would be fair and honest to the American people. lack of enforcement is exactly what caused the problem in the first place. Nothing is broken except our border. Build all of the fence that has already been signed by the president, enforce that law. Get us Inland Enforcement immediately, deport all of them and immediately close the borders. The border patrol says they can deport 20 million in a year, just get their supervision off their backs.

Stop the North American Union, stop the Partition Treaty which gives our Social Security to illegal aliens. Pull us out of N.A.F.T.A., Stop the superhighway.

There are far more productive duties our representatives could be doing. Kick the Mexican Consulates out of our country along with the illegal aliens.

Immediately make English America's official language.

The federal government doesn't know where these illegal aliens are, all they have to do is go to the work places and check out their employees.

It is amazing that the government can track down American citizens who commit a crime, and they are able determine if there are out-standing warrants for citizens... all in the blink of an eye. When it comes to illegal aliens, especially Mexican and Muslims, their data system no longer works.
Our government can pay out billions of dollars in social security funds to foreign nationals ...all being done with existing data bases.... but cannot determine if that person is/was an illegal alien.
If you are a citizen, just try to avoid taxes on capital gains, under-report your income, or claim too many deductions, and the tax people will be at your door. Identified, of course, by existing data bases.
Democrats and republicans alike, can determine 'residency' by race and ethnic group for the purpose of voting
but claims not to have the tools to determine citizenship.
There is tons of information, I'm sure, about those who enter our country legally on visas. The one bit of information so important to us when we use a credit card, the expiration date, is completely over-looked by our government. No fines and no late charges, and no deportation for illegal aliens. If you're an American citizen with an expired credit card everyone will know about it in a minute.

From the Carolina Journal Online: 460,000 illegal immigrants residing in North Carolina, Sheriff Steve Bizzell of Johnson County says that eighty to eighty-five percent of drug trafficking in his jurisdiction is committed by Hispanics. Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Department, estimated that illegal immigrants comprise 15 percent of the county's inmate population. Some repeat offenders have been jailed as many as 22 times.

North American Union & vchip Truth

This is not an immigrant nation. There are 280 million native born Americans. While it is true that this nation was settled and founded by immigrants (legal immigrants), it is also true that there is not a nation on this planet that was not settled by immigrants at one time or another.
The United States is welcoming to legal immigrants. Illegal aliens are not immigrants by definition. The U.S. accepts more lawful immigrants every year than the rest of the world combined.
Illegal aliens generally do not want U.S. citizenship. Americans are very vain thinking that everybody in the world wants to be a U.S. citizen. Mexicans, and other nationalities want to remain citizens of their home countries while obtaining the benefits offered by the United States such as employment, medical care, in-state tuition, government subsidized housing and free education for their offsprings. Their main attraction is employment and their loyalty remains at home.
The idea that only "native Americans" have the right to oppose immigration to the United States ignores the concept of "nation." There was no such thing as the political entity known as the United States until the founding fathers created it in 1776.
Furthermore, there are not grades of citizenship. One is either a citizen of this country, or one is not. We are not more or less citizens of the United States based on the number of generations preceding us on these shores.

The biggest employer of people not authorized to work in this country, the government. A little noticed audit last year of so-call non-work Social Security numbers showed the government, retail and universities are the top employers of non-citizens who are not authorized to work here.

From 2001 to 2003, seven federal agencies, seven states agencies and three local governments employed thousands of people using Social Security cards clearly marked as non-work documents. The government has issued 7 million such cards, certain foreign nationals are eligible for them so they can get public benefits. But it is illegal for them to work. Yet the government over three years illegally employed more than 49,000 such card holders.

A nation is actually a group of people that want to live a particular way according to a particular set of principles. And they pick a set of borders that define the place where that is going to happen. People that want to live a different way according to different principles don't belong in that country and should move to somewhere else.
I don't care what language people speak at home and I don't care how they cook their food.
But when they say, "What about our culture?" I say no. Otherwise you'd be home enjoying it. Instead, you're here, taking advantage of what we built with our culture. I don't need your culture, don't want your culture, ain't going to have your culture. If you want to live in the United States, you have to assinilate to our culture, do things our way and speak our language."
They're in the United States illegally and they're demonstrating for their rights. They're running around our streets waving flags of other countries and the American flag upside-down. They say it's freedom of expression and they have a right to as if they have rights in this country. Well, they have to respect our borders, respect our flag, respect our country and respect our people before I respect any of them. Come in legally and become an American and you're fine.
All his multicultural nonsense is one of the root problems causing the destruction of the United States. It causes too much deviation from the founding principles for this country to survive.
