Am I the only one who is sick of this stupidity?

She's from Texas, well grew up in Texas. We can't blame the Democrats for this one - it was under Republicans that the Texas Dream Act was passed and it was a Republican who signed it. Lest we forget, it was a Texan, who ran for President this time around, that said these words:

As a compassionate state, we know that for our children to succeed, they must not only be healthy, but educated. The future leaders of our two nations are learning their fractions and their ABC’s in classrooms all along this border. Immigrants from around the world are being taught in Texas classrooms, and our history is rich with examples of new citizens who have made great contributions. We must say to every Texas child learning in a Texas classroom, “we don’t care where you come from, but where you are going, and we are going to do everything we can to help you get there.” And that vision must include the children of undocumented workers. That’s why Texas took the national lead in allowing such deserving young minds to attend a Texas college at a resident rate. Those young minds are a part of a new generation of leaders, the doors of higher education must be open to them. The message is simple: educacion es el futuro, y si se puede.

I thought it was a mistake when Perry the Republicans supported it, but I never dreamed that it would rear its ugly head at the DNC Convention like this.
