Lawmakers looking into admissions Illegal immigrants are focus of new bill BY DEVIN ROONEY STATE & NATIONAL EDITOR Illegal immigrants in North Carolina could soon sec a clear er path to higher education if a new bill passes the N.C. General Assembly. N.C. representatives have pro posed a bill that prohibits the UNC svstem and the N.C. Community College System from considering immigration status in the admis sions process. N.C. Representatives Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland, Pricey Harrison, D-Guilford. Dan Blue, D-Wake, and Paul Luebke, D- Durham, are all primary sponsors of the bill. Audrey Bailey, spokeswoman for the N.C. Community College System, said the recent controver sial policy disallowing illegal immi grants from acceptance into degree programs was made at the behest of legal advice bv the N.C. Attorney General s Office. Bailey said if the bill passes and is signed into law, the community college system would once again accept illegal immigrants but charge them out-of-state tuition. “All we want to do is educate as many people as we legally can," she said. “We follow the law, if the legisla ture changes then we will change." Harrison said she decided to sponsor the bill because she was not happy w ith the policy set by. College System president. The policy was instituted May 13. "I was pretty upset with the (N.C.) Attorney General and with the Community College president for instituting that policy." Harrison added that she had previously sponsored a bill to guar antee illegal immigrants in-state tuition, which she said was greeted Uhr Saiiij Sar Hrri “The problem is the law regarding immigration is very vague. It needs to be clarified ” AUDREY BAILY, ncccs spokeswoman with “ugliness and venom." “1 was expecting it to be like that with this bill," she said. But she said she was surprised because the responses she’s received to the latest bill have been overwhelmingly positive. Luebke said that he sponsored the bill because he believes educat ing illegal immigrants empowers them to give back to the state. “It only makes sense to allow those who are wanting an educa tion. and who are bilingual, who have much to contribute to mul ticultural North Carolina to get a higher education." He added that because ille gal immigrants pay out-of-state tuition, the state actually makes a profit when they take classes. Bailey said the community college system is only trying to stop short of being a law-making body. She added that the federal laws don't provide much guidance on the issue. “The problem is the law regard ing immigration is very vague. It needs to be clarified: it needs to be rewritten. It needs to have strict guidelines, it doesn’t," she said. ‘lt is frustrating but we don't set law." first seL tmMTCvvponcyUneyasked the N.C. Attorney General to provide federal clarification from the Department of Homeland Security. They are still waiting for clarification. "A letter has been sent," she said. “We have to wait. We are very patient." Contact the State E 2 National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.
