Panel Votes to Allow Illegals into Community Colleges
September 17, 2009Berger asks, “Where is Perdue?”
Senate Republican Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) made the following statement:
“With North Carolina’s high unemployment rate sending many out-of-work citizens into already overcrowded community colleges for retraining, now is not the time for an ill-advised experiment that will further drain precious educational resources and put our state’s economy in greater jeopardy. We all remember how, in the midst of her campaign, Governor Perdue made a public display of her commitment to keeping illegal aliens out of our community colleges even going so far as to ungraciously refer to her opponent as the ‘Governor of Tijuana’ in campaign advertisements.”
“Now that the election is over, she has reversed course on this issue and many others. It seems that every time Governor Perdue is given the opportunity to take a stand for hardworking North Carolina citizens, she shrinks from the challenge.”
