More from the illegal immigration front


In light of the debate over the North Carolina legislation that would allow long-term state residents who are illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at state universities, USA Today has a couple of interesting stories today. They’re not the deepest looks at the issue (no surprise there), but they offer a glimpse at the bigger picture. One is about legislation around the nation; the other is about activists on both sides of the debate over illegal immigration.

In case you missed it, Elon College had an interesting poll on the tuition bill last month. It showed that when North Carolinians know the details of the legislation (the student must have attended four years of high school in North Carolina and must apply for citizenship), more support the bill than oppose it.
