Gaston County, NC: A drunk driving illegal alien kills Scott Gardner, a school teacher, and critically injures his wife and two children. This alien, Ramiro Gallegos, had been previously arrested five times for drunk driving and never deported as a criminal. Nationally, 12 Americans are killed by illegal aliens each day. Those casualty rates are higher than those in Iraq. We are in a war at home and my opponent, regrettably, is on the wrong side.

In our first televised debate my opponent Governor Perdue, called for amnesty for illegal aliens, but she called it "documenting undocumented immigrants". Her party's platform has the radical notion that cops are too busy with parking tickets to handle arresting and detaining criminal illegal aliens.

According to FAIR, North Carolina taxpayers now pay for more than $771 million dollars in primary and secondary education because of illegal immigration's impact. And it's not just money that is being siphoned off from your children's or grandchildren's education. The quality of the education is going down.

I could not believe that we are using an honors world history textbook that says Ronald Reagan increased the tensions in the Cold War but didn't have space enough to discuss Reagan's role in defeating the Soviet Union so decisively that it collapsed.

No, that history text didn't have space for Reagan's role in world history but the text did have space for a Spanish glossary.

Worst of all, my opponent supports the policy of the State Board of Education (a board she votes on) forcing a higher standard for school registration on our fellow Americans than on illegals. That's right. If a citizen registers their child for kindergarten, he or she must produce a birth certificate. All an illegal has to do is point to the child's name and a date written in the family Bible.

We can't have harsher requirements for the people who are here legally than for illegals.

I have worked hard to bring jobs to North Carolina. But illegal immigration is taking jobs from inner city youths who have fewer opportunities for entry level employment to start with. How would you like to be one of these kids who doesn't get pregnant, works hard in school, doesn't join a gang, goes to church on Sunday, but when they go down to the fast food restaurant, they are told we can't hire you because we need bi-lingual employees? It just goes on and on and it needs stop now. (No duuuuh!)
