Update: Click here for Friday's newspaper story.

Here's a little more on the NC Community College Board's discussion (click for today’s brief update) over whether to admit illegal immigrants to colleges in the system.

First off this post from earlier in the month (click here) has links to some of the policy letters that went back and forth and bills that have been filed in the legislature.

Also interesting, my friends at Stateline have written about a very similar discussion going on in California and elsewhere.

Finally, you can hear the most interesting bits of consultant Gina Shkodriani's and lawyer Alice Maginnis' presentations to the board by clicking here.

You got to live the idiots that run this state.
If you live in Virginia, paid taxes all your life, you pay out of state tuition.
If you jumped the boarder last night, you get in state tuition.
Of course I have no love for the liberal reporters, who never say a word about this.
