This really ticks me off:

North Carolina State basketball player Gavin Grant may be deported as an illegal immigrant.

Eyewitness News has learned that Grant was detained last week by campus police and immigrations officials, amid allegations that he was smuggled into the country, from Jamaica, as a child.

NC State officials are saying they believe Grant will be able to play with them this winter, but that's far from the point.

Alright, so he have a kid that's playing college basketball, presumably on scholarship, trying to get his degree and make something of himself.  Meanwhile, North Carolina has over 300,000 illegal immigrants, with the majority of them being Mexican.  Yet, the feds want to ship this kid back to JAMACIA, of all places.

It would be one thing if the feds actually enforced immigration law evenly, but as Michelle Malkin and others can attest to, they don't.  Hence, you have a kid who is a relatively high-profile basketball player at State (he was supposed to start this season) being cherrypicked by the INS, when they could probably go on the other side of the city and detain as many illegal immigrants as they wish.

And note:  this is only a few months after the North Carolina General Assembly proposed a measure that would have given illegal immigrants in-state tuition if they lived here over a year and graduated from an NC high school.  It took the wrath of a couple of local talk radio hosts in Raleigh to draw enough outrage to shelf the proposal.  However, former Gov. Jim Hunt and other supporters are still lobbying for it to be passed.  Hence, how many of those recipients were going to get detained and deported?

The answer:  little to none.  And it isn't as if they don't know where to look.
