The NC Legislature And Their Strange Malady!

The North Carolina Legislature and their strange malady:

The North Carolina Legislature has a problem. They have been afflicted with some sort of dementia, apparently. It would appear that a goodly number of them are suffering its ill effects. It has distorted their reasoning ability… drastically. Why, just this week, they have suggested a piece of legislation which would allow the children of illegal immigrants, residing in the state, to attend state colleges at “In State” tuition rates!

See what I mean? You can tell this is a serious affliction, a malady which does strange things to the mind. It makes the sufferer forget what he is doing… and for whom.

It is certainly a good thing those of us in the hinterlands in North Carolina are far enough away so as not to be afflicted. Out here we are thinking clearly. Clearly enough to flood their e-mail accounts and letter boxes with some suggestions about what they can do to seek a cure.

The solution is very simple, really. Either kill this bill before it sees the light of day… outside a committee room, or as many have pointed out to the legislators, the disease could become terminal for their political careers.

Now, we know the Honorables in Raleigh did not intend to cause such a ruckus. But they sure stepped in it this time! We have been complaining for some time of their “disconnectedness” with their constituents. Boy, does this ever prove it!

This move by the legislators is not only dumb… it is stupid! Now, we know our legislators are not dumb and stupid, so the MUST be sick, right? Right!

Maybe they ought to come home for a spell… and rest, and meditate, and above all else, talk to the people who sent them up there in the first place.

North Carolina is overrun with illegal immigrants. Heck, you’d think our southern neighbor was Mexico and not South Carolina. We have one of the highest populations of Mexican illegals in the US. If the US won’t seal our southern border with Mexico, maybe each state should consider sealing it’s own borders, huh? Now, that would get Washington’s attention, post haste.

Now, the kind of stupid proposals coming out of the NC Legislature, demonstrates one thing, and one thing only. NC has given up. NC has adopted the position that we can do nothing to stem the flood of illegal immigrants and the state government has decided to embrace them.

Look, start locking them up!!! Don’t give them driver’s licenses as DOT does now, (if they can pass the test). They get a license even if they cannot read English. Go figure! The terrorists who flew the planes into the World Trade Center had NC driver’s licenses!

The good ole boys, and gals, in the NC legislature had better come home and talk to these folks back here. It won’t take ten minutes to find out we are angry! I mean boiling mad!

Its all NC families can do, now, to get their own children through college. If the State legislature is bent on helping someone with tuition…they’d better start here… with the LEGAL CITIZENS of this state.

After all, they pay the bills!

Your Obedient Servant,

“Longstreet”
