Immigrants march to Raleigh, demand in-state tuition rates

Immigration activists marched from Chapel Hill to Raleigh on Saturday to demand that in-state tuition rates be given to students who have received a temporary federal reprieve from deportation.

Around 40 activists ended the “March of Broken Dreams” with a mock funeral outside the office of state Attorney General Roy Cooper. The protesters charge that Cooper has been silent about whether students in the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program are entitled to the lower college tuition rates offered to in-state residents.

“Every day that passes, someone’s dream dies,” said Oliva Prezas, 19, of Oxford, one of the students who spoke at the “funeral,” which was organized by the N.C. Dream Team. “Attorney General Cooper needs to speak out.”

Noelle Talley, a spokeswoman for Cooper, said a legal opinion about the issue is being drafted.

The DACA program began in 2012 by President Barack Obama to award temporary resident status to immigrants who were brought into the country as children when their parents arrived illegally. Of that group, those whose DACA applications are approved receive two-year deferrals from deportation.

To be eligible, applicants must meet requirements such as being under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012; entering the U.S. when they were under the age of 16; having a clean record; and being in school or having graduated with a high school diploma.

According to news reports, at least 17 states allow DACA students to receive in-state tuition. But the body that governs Virginia’s public colleges says those students aren’t eligible for the lower rates.

“Immigrants march to Raleigh, demand in-state tuition rates” ?

If you are an immigrant, and you live in that state, you already get that price.

OH! You mean they are illegals? My mistake.

I actually speak English, so I couldn’t make any sense of leftist speak.

I say let them have it, right after they repay every penny of
taxpayer money spent on them. That ought to stem the demands a bit.

We have no national sovereignty any more. This is saddening, but I have become so jaded to these kind of things that I have a hard time getting upset. We are being invaded and nobody in power really cares.

DEMAND?!?!?!

They’re very lucky that the unemployed legal citizens aren’t out there extracting their revenge with pitchforks and torches!

Put them in prison, confiscate any assets and deport them after serving their jail term!

They don’t call NC “The California of the South” for nothing. Chapel Hill, especially, is full of fruits, nuts, and freaks. Mostly commies.

Violent drug-addled murderers and drug dealers swindle struggling US taxpayers. Greedy Dreamers turn to violence and drugs in their unmitigated greed for more and more US tax dollars.

No in-state tuition for illegals (1) cashing several govt checks, (2) w/ hidden history of criminal wrongdoing, (3) who have committed felonies against the US govt:

<><> Are they registered to vote under several identities?

<><> Were they ever involved in voter fraud?

<><> Did they ever use multiple identities to swindle the US govt?

<><> How many identities do these illegals use now?

<><> How many identities did these illegals ever use?

<><> Do these illegals have a rap sheet here? In Mexico? Elsewhere?

<><> Did any of these illegals receive welfare, food stamps, SSI, free medical care, Section 8 housing, UI, Workmen's comp under several identities?

<><> Did they ever falsify US govt documents to unlawfully receive, monthly SS checks, claiming "asylum?"

<><> Do they have a sub-prime mortgage obtained w/ the help of US govt agencies?

<><> Did illegals (or their parents) make false claims on IRS forms in order to get EITC refunds?

<><> Do illegals have a legal driver's license?

<><> Do they have valid passports?

<><> How many times did illegals wire-transfer money back to The Third World?

<><> How often do they travel to The Third World?

<><> Are they registered to vote under several identities?

<><> Does they belong to radical America-hating organizations preaching violence agaist America and Americans?

<><> Did illegals ever use multiple identities to get tax dollars?

<><> Did these illegals ever swindle the US govt?

<><> Did these illegals ever OBTAIN FRAUDULENT SUB-PRIME MORTGAGES? MORTGAGES THAT DEVSTATED THE US ECONOMY? THAT US TAXPAYERS WERE FORCED TO BAILOUT?

<><> How many ways do these illegals ride the US gravy train:

UI, SSI, Workmen's Comp,

TANF (temporary assistance to needy families),

WICS (food assistance),

subsidized Section 8 shelter,

ObamaPhone subsidies,

Utility Assistance subsidies,

$5000 a year EITC checks per identity,

hefty monthly "asylum" checks from SS ....

Are they hiding large amounts of assets from the courts? Taxpayer dollars collected under several identities? Hefty bundles of US cash wired offshore ---from stiffing US banks for fraudulent sub-prime mtges (which we taxpayers had to bailout).

===============================================

INCONVENIENT FACTOID The Third World is pushing north at a furious pace---grabbing our tax dollars every which way they can in order to subsidize a separate third world nation on US soil.
