| 53 | Melanie S. Eberhart | With an incredible state history of open doors since 1795, NC should not, in 2008, close those doors due to increase xenophobia. All our residents' children deserve an education; children should not be penalized for their parents' decision to emigrate, nor should we be penalized in the future with the consequences evolving from uneducated children becoming uneducated adults, as a result of this short-sighted decision. |

| 55 | Allison Gianino | The Hispanic population in North Carolina is growing at an extraordinary rate. Help the next generation become successful, self-sufficient contributors to our state by investing in their education and giving them the same rights afforded to other North Carolina students. In ten years the returns will be beneficial to all of our citizens. |

| 66 | John A. Paar, M.D. | All students who have passed the educational requirements of our public and private schools should have the right to education in our state's institutions of higher learning, both the universities and technical schools. Nobody is well served by ignorance and lack of opportunity. |

| 72 | Sandra Oertwig | Access to education should be the right of anyone who has the desire and financial where-with-all to obtain it. Our workforce and our nation becomes only stronger by our people (any of our people) becoming better educated. It is a foundation of our demoncratic principless. Citizenship should not be the gatekeeper criteria for keeping people out of higher education. |

| 75 | Charles Milone | There are two reasons for admitting these students. It's the right thing to do, and it helps NC economy to educate qualified resident students. |
| 76 | Anonymous | Education improves the chances of individuals becoming contributing and constructive citizens. Please think about the consequences of not providing educational opportunities of these children. Our jails are full of uneducated people who tried to make it through the avenues of crime. Do we want more of that? You have the power to change that outcome for these students who are striving to receive a secondary education. Put yourselves in their place. Empathy and sympathy are two of the most powerful feelings of human beings. I hope you have them!
I thank you for your help |

| 85 | Mary Hughes Brookhart | Denying these students access to our community colleges is terribly short-sighted and mean-spirited. It is a low moment for a state so traditionally committed to accessible education. These children came here because their parents brought them here. |
| 86 | Marne Meredith | Knowing many Latino students as Elementary age students and seeing all the potential in them and all the hard work their parents do to contribute to giving their children an education and contributing to the economy, it only seems right to allow them access to Higher Education, otherwise they will see no reason to stay in school and will drop out and all that knowledge and energy and potential will not be realized. |

| 93 | Ezra Farber | Education is crucial for the economic future of our state. Education for *all* students will give our state a leg up in the national economy and is clearly worth the price |

| 97 | george shepard | This issue is about preparing our workforce for the future and increasing our tax base - it's not about the individual being in the country illegally. |

| 99 | Karyn Gloden | All students deserve the best educational opportunities available, regardless of where they live or how they are "identified" by a government. It is their right as citizens of the world. |
