The State: N.C. pushes ban on illegal immigrant students

While other states struggle with the issue, North Carolina alone is moving ahead with an interpretation of a federal law that the state says bars illegal immigrants from attending community colleges, even if the students pay more than the cost of their education.

* California
* Illinois
* Kansas
* Nebraska
* New Mexico
