Illegal immigration final issue in gubernatorial race
RALEIGH (AP) - The campaign for governor between Beverly Perdue and Pat McCrory will end in the same way it started - with allegations about illegal immigration.
Perdue's campaign began running two radio ads Monday accusing McCrory of being soft on the issue.
Perdue said she approved the ads because the Republican Governors Association had attacked her on the issue with a mailer that was addressed to her husband.
The narrator in one ad accuses McCrory of lying about her record. A man in another ad said "we'd be loco to vote for Pat McCrory."
McCrory's campaign manager Richard Hudson called the ad "an outrageous, personal and racist attack."
A few days after the May primary, McCrory accused Perdue of failing to do enough about a state policy allowing illegal immigrants to attend community colleges.
