Wake County Commissioners jumped into the debate Monday over whether to allow illegal immigrants into community colleges.
In September, the State Board of Community Colleges voted in favor of allowing illegal immigrants to enroll at the 58 community colleges in North Carolina.
That decision is not final, as public hearings will be held early next year before a final vote on the matter.
On Monday, Wake County Commissioners considered a resolution opposing the state's decision.
"It makes no sense to me that we would actually train and educate people who cannot take the jobs they would be trained for," said Commissioner Paul Coble.
Coble and the Board's two other Republicans voted for the resolution, which was only symbolic in nature, but it ultimately failed as the board's three Democrats voted against it.
"This (resolution) sends a very negative message to the public at large about Latinos," said Commissioner Stan Norwalk.
El Pueblo, a Latino advocacy group, called the resolution a political move by some commissioners.
"The sad part is they're doing it on the backs of children that should be able to go to school," said the group's Executive Director, Antonio Asion.
The state policy would still place restrictions on illegal immigrants, such as forcing them to pay out-of-state tuition and making them last priority when picking classes.

The "County jumps in" is considerably misleading. Where have these people been for the last 10 years, while literally millions of illegals roam our streets and neighborhoods. Sorry, but the open door policy is foolish and equally dangerous. Sure there are some who have jobs and contribute to our State economics, but they are still illegal and that should be the end of the debate. Illegal means wrong and where and when you can right a wrong should it not be done? Allowing ILLEGALs into any public domain is a sad testament to our society and culture. There should be no debate, but only action to carry out the responsibilities of our police and other law enforcement agencies to do their job and remove these people from our state and nation. Why is everyone so timid about this and what is it they do not understand about illegal. Stop this ridiculous banter and do your jobs. No debates, no entry to any public agency including education in community colleges or public schools.

As America suspected the House Health Care reform Bill Contains an identification mechanism that increases distress? So despite the inclusion of the Democrat so-called verification system in the latest health care bill, this identification procedure will be almost non-effective to omit illegal immigrants from accessing the taxpayer-funded afford ability credits. My thought is that this was intentional, so that the majority of illegal aliens already holding a fraudulent social security card, of a deceased person, a young child's number of even one of our soldiers fighting in some obscure country can still get access. E-Verify should be used for just this reason, along with a current government ID to spot unauthorized entrance to any health care program. See compilation of Social Security Laws http://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/ssact/title19/1903.htm. Sen. Sessions a champion amongst anti-illegal immigration proponents, took to the Senate floor fighting for American workers and the protection of American jobs. When the Senate debated the bill to extend federal unemployment benefits for 14 weeks, Senator Sessions filed an amendment to permanently extend the E-Verify program. Outrageously, the Sessions amendment was stripped from the final version of the bill by the House-Senate committee members that included Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi. In the Democratic majority Homeland Security Appropriations bill, they in conclusion authorized E-Verify for just three years. Unfortunately this leaves the enforcement program pregnable to the--AMNESTY ZEALOTS? These opponents can monopolize any long-term or permanent reauthorization of E-Verify as collateral in leverage for the course of mass amnesty for the 20 to 30 million illegal immigrants squatting in this nation You guessed it?--Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) filed a motion to cut off debate--invoking cloture--on the unemployment compensation extension bill without initially giving the Senate time to vote on the Sessions amendment. WE SHOULD INDELIBLY REMEMBER THIS ANTI-AMERICAN WORKER LEGISLATOR, AND THROW HIM FROM OFFICE IN 2010 AS HE PROVED WITHOUT ANY DOUBT FOREIGN LABOR IS MORE IMPORTANT TO HIM THAN HIS OWN COUNTRYMEN Along with House Speaker Pelosi and all Democratic leadership, they have used their influence to collude with corporate lobbyists subversive open border organizations to starve Immigration enforcement of full funding and a voice in Washington since coming to power. Yet this doesn’t mean that either Bush’s or prior administrations are without fault in securing the border or stopping the hordes of illegal aliens from breaking our laws. Recently Fifty-four Representatives sent the president a letter expressing their support for 287 G - the government training program that allows agents from the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to deputize state and county law enforcement agencies in the enforcement of federal immigration laws. . Simply speaking, it cited, 287 G, was—NOT-- just designated to be confined to habitual criminals and gangs as some have purposely mislead, but constructed to let state and regional enforcement officials assist in enforcement of—ALL--immigration laws; removing illegal immigrants from the streets and highways. It could become prevalent within any city and neighborhood precincts, if that particular police department has been deputized and trained according to the 287 G program. Sadly, many cities have failed in this measure owing to the—SANCTUARY CITY—policies. If San Francisco and Los Angeles has empowered its police departments to adopt 287 G, the deaths of many innocent citizens could have been prevented. Other cities may still be held at fault, because they too had pro-illegal immigration city councils and managers who ignorantly ignored the people plea to enforce immigration laws such as 287 G? To date the pro-illegal immigration letter signed by a group in the Democratic leadership has declared a "commitment to repair our broken immigration system" These groups have expressed a strong support for moving forward on comprehensive immigration reform--AMNESTY-- this year, which are strongly back by giant business consortium's. The signers of the letter has overseen by Representative Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), a well-known amnesty zealot who, earlier this year, spent weekending events, pushing his AMNESTY proposition amongst congregational religion, Union halls, ethnic caucuses in his tours nationwide. Outside of this growing distressing dilemma, my Mother-in-Law asked me if E-Verify could be used to determine the credit and background of people who apply for store leases or the purchase and renting of homes. This would be a compatible as an invaluable need with credit bureau reports, so illegal immigrants could be detected in Indianapolis. E-verify, a computerized tool has been adequately funded, which means ongoing modification and simplicity of use; along with the 1-9 paperwork. Further use could be Drivers license identification, auto registration, auto insurance, health care applications, IRS tax credits, home and store leases and renting, election voting and as of now removing foreigners from work locations? Today we are bombarded on all sides by the inflow of foreign nationals, who in many cases can disappear leaving landlords with huge bills. E-Verify is possibly the best weapon to retaliate against illegal immigration. Senators and Representatives are all suspect, so call them at 202-224-3121. Only because of angry repercussions of THE PEOPLES response, that under intense pressure E-Verify survived. Business interests and the open border groups would have torn it away, but recognition came by thousands of blogger’s who notified the public already tired of supporting corporate welfare and their illegal alien hires and family members. It’s not over yet because thousands of piratical business and radical groups have massive financial influence on lawmakers we voted to govern us?

AMNESTY means OVERPOPULATION that needs your urgent attention at CAPSWEB.

Steve: Hate speech has no place in the US. Now, just like all other federal government programs, immigration controls are a form of socialism. They involve bloated budgets, bureaucracy, central planning, taxation, abusive police powers, intrusions in the marketplace, and widespread corruption. As borders are tightened, a black market in immigration will expand, leading to increased violence and government corruption. The war on drugs has utterly failed to keep drugs out of the country, and yet has succeeded in draining away enormous resources and eroding precious civil liberties; a war on immigrants would yield similar results. In history, theory and practice, immigration controls are just one more boondoggle of dysfunctional, immoral, unconstitutional, and socialist central planning. A welfare state may depend on such controls, but a free society should reject them. Severe restrictions on immigration compromise the liberty of the people inside as well as outside the borders, and they should be among the policies freedom-loving people oppose in their efforts to bring liberty back to America.

Our Government, past & present, Republican & Democrat, have allowed the invasion of 20 to 30 million criminals and uneducated peons which is the largest invasion of any Nation, at any time, by any means & in direct violation of Article IV, Section IV of our Constitution. This refusal to abide by our Constitution or enforce our Immigration Laws should be classified as Treason of the most foul kind, & as grounds for impeachment & trials for Treason! Not only have they allowed the invasion, they force American tax payers to pay Billions on Billions of dollars to provide Welfare, Prison cells, Educate the invaders numerous children, and free medical care, at the same time the invading horde break numerous laws and massive document fraud, & are destroying our schools, hospitals, communities, culture and standard of living while Robbing, Raping, Killing & Assaulting American Citizens WAKE UP PEOPLE!
