Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama suggested this weekend that the children of illegal immigrants should have an opportunity to attend public community colleges -- thereby interjecting himself into a contentious North Carolina issue.
Obama said children who attended public schools should have the chance to continue to improve themselves rather than being consigned to the fringes of society.
"For us to deny them access to community college, even though they've never lived in Mexico, at least as far as they can tell ... is to deny that this is how we've always built this country up," Obama said in an interview over the weekend with WUNC during a campaign stop in Greensboro.

“All of the above is true, but do we really expect John McCain to make any hay out of it?”
LMFAO....what’s he going to do....say he agrees?
If you think McShamnesty’s position on illegal aliens, immigration and amnesty is any better than Obama’s, you’ve forgotten McCain/Kennedy’s S2611 and the fact that McShamnesty said he’s still for it.
What he really means is, “For you to deny anyone access to your hard earned tax dollars...”

For us to deny him access to the presidency, even though he wasn’t born in America, at least as far as we can tell........
Heavy registration in urban counties has swelled North Carolina's voter rolls.
More than 600,000 new voters, including a large number of young and black citizens, have registered, bringing the state's total to a record 6 million.
"Voter registration has eclipsed all records, no doubt about it," said state elections director Gary Bartlett.
Democrats are the apparent beneficiaries, helping Barack Obama make the state an unexpected battleground. Republican John McCain's campaign says it isn't worried.
Overall, Democrats have an overall edge in registration, with 2.7 million to 2 million Republicans. Of the new voters, 48 percent are Democrats, 21 percent Republicans and nearly a third independents. By comparison, in 2004 Democrats made up 39 percent of new voters and Republicans 34 percent.
Black people, who make up about 22 percent of the state's population, account for more than 30 percent of new voters. (N&O)
Student loans I’ll bet are bundled up into some real AAA paper, yeah right. If a study was done on how they all get paid off we would see another subsidy of the bums on the left.
