He also doesn’t care if illegals get to pay in-state tuition.

What else doesn’t he care about?

Welcome to FR ‘NoMitt’.

Who do you support please?

Cain is the best choice for republican presidential nominee for real definable reasons. We have an opportunity to defeat Obama not only electorally, but also to defeat the crazy hopey/changey/messiah/pharoah insanity that has been foisted upon us for the last three years.

That's not to say Rick Perry isn't a decent guy, and I'm sure someone could make some argument for him having marginally better credentials in some minor area. But we must realize that if we simply defeat Obama numerically, it will leave half of the country with a bone to knaw on for the next 8 years, and we will be back to the same cycle after that. Herman Cain gives us the opportunity to defeat the entire Obama meme, the value of which is immeasurable.

You must be a “heartless” person.

He does seem to take a keen interest in lining the pockets of his donors with tax dollars.

And he thinks it would be a good idea to seize land below market price using eminent domain, build a huge toll road using public funds and going into debt, lease that toll road to a foreign corporation, and then sign a legal agreement barring the state of Texas from widening the north/south interstates in the future so said foreign corporation would make more money.

I will oppose La Raza Rick and continue to convince other Texans to do the same whether or not he can climb back out of the single digit support range (unlikely, I know) to claim the Republican nomination.

From the words of your post, you seem to be perfectly OK with illegals going to college in Texas. Your issue seems to be whether they should pay instate or out of state tuition rates.

That being said, in order to qualify for instate tuition for Texas universities, you must be domiciled here. That means that you're paying taxes here. If you are the child of an illegal, then you must be domiciled in Texas for 3 years prior to high school graduation.

These people are paying the exact same relevant taxes as every other resident of Texas. They are not taking away any slot from any other student. They are not getting taxpayer subsidized tuition. If they are to be admitted into Texas schools, which you don't seem to have any issue with, then it doesn't make sense for them to pay out of state tuition when they have been paying into the system.

I would, however, suggest that you contact your Texas Senator and Representative and see how they voted for Texas residency requirements for Texas taxpayers regarding Texas universities. If your Senator/Rep was in office for these votes, chances are they voted to support this bill. That's evidenced by the Texas Legislature voting almost 100% to support this bill. If you don't approve of they way they voted, I would suggest you try and convince them to overturn the law 2 years from now during the next legislative session. If that's not a route you want to follow, then I would suggest you start working on getting this issue on the ballot in order to change the Texas Constitution.

Since you care so deeply about this, I have to assume you're from Texas. I mean, this only affects Texas residents and nobody else, and Perry has clearly stated that this is a state issue.
