He was talking about in-state tuition, not immigration.
He was talking about giving tax dollars so ILLEGAL immigrants could have in-state tuition.
BUT this is old news. My problem is that Perry is playing the race card, just like the libDems do.
They know but don’t care.
Nothing wrong with tough questions and challenges to issues, but far too many posters specialize in below the belt punches.
That said, when I moved to Texas in 07 I was really put off that a family member had to pay non resident tuition while illegals paid in state.
The fact is that the few who did get in state tuition did not affect the rates we paid until we established residency.
This is one of those issues that I don’t necessarily agree with but understand why it was done—better to educate the kids of illegals than to have them continually on welfare.
In state tuition for illegal aliens is about immigration, the illegal kind. Why should taxpayers support illegal aliens who are prohibited by law from working in this country and for employrs to hire them. And illegal aliens are not eligible for the dole as Perry mentioned during the debates.
