My only problem with Perry is, he is Mr. Dream Act.
The Texas one is diffrent than the federal one.
With that said, he is a squish on that issue.
But why am I defending him; I prefer Thad McCotter or Sarah Palin.
Educate yourself. The Texas Dream Act was passed in Perry's first year as governor. It was not legislation that he introduced, and it passed by overwhelming majorities the the Texas Legislature TWICE. Now, Perry agrees with the Texas Dream Act, but he was not the author of it. You seem to be trying to imply that Perry supports the Dream Act in Congress, which is very different from the Texas Dream Act. He doesn't - he has voiced his opposition to amnesty and to the national Dream Act that has been proposed. So calling him "Mr. Dream Act" in that context is misleading at best, dishonest at worst.
That is a state issue. The Texas Legislature passed it with flying colors - only 4 nays. Perry would not be able to change that even if he wanted to.
This Act was only for Texas.
It involves approx 8,000 to 12,000 kids per year and only gives them approx $500-1000 off tuition fees. They have to pay their tuition and there is nothing else to it.
