Approximately 267,581 Hispanics living in North Carolina do not have proper documents.
Another 137,845 Hispanics are here with proper legal documents, either as permanent residents, students, H2A, or some other “legitimate” immigrant category.
Approximately 206,942 Hispanics living in North Carolina are US Citizens!
When questions were raised about a handful of colleges having policies which excluded some students based on immigration status, I asked our General Counsel, David Sullivan to research our policies and the law. Having done so, he reached the conclusion, in which I concurred, that there could be no basis in either policy or law to deny anyone access under our open-door policy. I fully support the memorandum which was issued and do not see it as any change in policy but as clarification of the existing law and policy. Furthermore, it is not only the right law and policy, but it is the right thing to do.
