Continuing the discussion regarding the 7-point NC Conservative Agenda. Today is Point 5:

Eliminate State Benefits to Illegal Immigrants & Make English Official Language

The glue that has held our great and diverse nation together is the English language. But today, our state has become a silent proponent of a dual language. The state has become an enabler for illegal Hispanic immigrants to keep their native language and refuse to learn English. The state makes available all forms and applications in Spanish, and requires interpreters at state agencies to help non-English speaking individuals.

Conservatives should make English the official language of the state.

Illegal immigrants have broken the law and should be denied welfare benefits, driversÂ’ licenses, in-state tuition to community colleges and universities, and other state benefits paid by taxpayers.

To completely understand this issue, one has to understand how the state of North Carolina works. North Carolina is an absolute haven for illegal immigrants -- literally. Many, many bus trips are taken from other states with NC as a destination -- NC gives a driver's license to anyone who wants one, no matter if you're a citizen or not.

AND, thanks to the moronic "motor voter act," all those non-citizens who are getting free NC driver's licenses are also being registered to vote. So anyone who supports changing those rules risks the wrath of criminal aliens who may or may not be illegally voting.

So this agenda item is asking something rather simple -- to those who are breaking the law and entering the country illegally as non-citizens, we don't want you to have a driver's license nor be able to vote in North Carolina. Unfortunately, governor Easley and the Democrats are STRONGLY against that idea -- they like the votes from the criminal aliens.

Indeed, this is an area where the state does have a great deal of power. A HUGE amount of money is spent on illegals -- not arresting them, but supporting them in the form of welfare benefits, section 8 housing, medicaid giveaways, food stamps, aid for dependent children, english as a second language, and on and on and on. If the state made the simple statement that taxpayer money was to be used on legal citizens, the budget could be nearly cut in half.

But, of course, that's anethma to Democrats. Democrats in North Carolina want to increase government and increase spending any possible way they can. By claiming to be "helping" immigrants, they get to spend more money and raise more taxes -- so they can have more control and more money to spend, which is what they exist to do.

The last issue in this agenda item is English as a state language. 90% of the legal citizens of North Carolina support this idea. That doesn't mean the Democrat-controlled legislature cares. This idea would NOT require anyone speak any language. It would not stop anyone from speaking any language they wanted to anywhere they want. It would not restrict ANYONE, nor punish anyone from doing ANYTHING.

What it would do is save money. It would simply state that all forms printed by the North Carolina government would be printed in English. It would state that government employees, in the process of doing their own job, would speak English and not be required to speak any other language. That's all.

Who would be opposed to that? You guessed it -- Democrats. It would SAVE money. Democrats running the state legislature have no clue what that even means. And if this were passed in combination with the above, there'd be no reason to speak Spanish because if you were a spanish-speaking illegal immigrant, you couldn't get free cash from the government anyway!

Keep in mind, none of this has anything to do with legal immigration. If you want to LEAVE your country and become a citizen of America, none of this would effect you (other than potentially reducing your taxes). It would not even lower legal immigration -- it would just encourage people who want to be citizens to actually JOIN our society instead of bringing your own to America.

If you don't like the American culture, that's fine -- just don't come here and expect to bring your own culture -- if your culture is so much better, stay in your country and enjoy it! If you want our handouts, you've got to accept our culture, too.

Will any of this pass? I think it's highly doubtful. These are excellent ideas, and ideas that the state can actually do that WILL reduce illegal, criminal invasion of the state (which is VERY, VERY large, 3rd only to CA and AZ). Despite 90% of the citizens of the state wanting English as the official language, I don't give it much of a chance to pass -- because the Democrats feel they know better than the people how to govern.

The only way I see this getting passed is if the Democrats present some sort of useless version: English is the official language, but government still has to print and communicate in Spanish.
