On Tuesday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said Texas Gov. Rick Perry's enthusiastic embrace of in-state tuition for illegal immigrants is a magnet that lures more illegal immigrants to America – just like President Barack Obama's temporary amnesty program for DREAMers.
“President Obama won’t send them home, and Gov. Perry has done the same thing by giving them in-state tuition," Paul told the Wall Street Journal during a significant Iowa trip. "That’s a beacon without any kind of border security."

lol! “Duplicitous dork” fits. :-)
;)
Do me a favor Rand, and save your attacks for Obama, he just violated the constitution to bypass congress and open the doors to illegal that have no family here.
Thousands lined the streets of Mexican city for burial of Edgar TamayoHe was executed by lethal injection for killing a Texas policeman. His lawyers say he didn't receive a fair trial / By Alex Delmar-morgan / February 3, 2014
Edgar Tamayo was convicted of the January 3, 1994 shooting death of Houston police officer Guy Gaddis and and was executed last month. Thousands of Mexican mourners poured out to see the burial of the Mexican man put to death by lethal injection in Texas last month, a move that has sparked diplomatic tensions between the U.S. and the central American state.
Friends and relatives carried the coffin of Mexican Edgar Tamayo to the cemetery in his home town of Miacatlan, Morelos state, amid an outpouring of grief from local residents. The 46-year-old Mexican was controversially executed in Texas less than two weeks ago for the killing of a Houston police officer in 1994, despite outrage from human rights groups and last minute appeals from his lawyers for clemency on the grounds that Tamayo was mentally disabled.
The case saw the unusual intervention of the U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, who had repeatedly urged the Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott to delay Tamayo's punishment, saying it 'could impact the way American citizens are treated in other countries.'
Abbott and the Harris County district attorney opposed postponing what was the first execution this year in the ultra-conservative American state. Some 16 people were executed in Texas in 2013. The Mexican government also sharply criticized the decision, saying failure to review Tamayo's case and reconsider his sentence would be 'a clear violation by the United States of its international obligations'.
Tamayo was found guilty of shooting 24-year-old Houston policeman Guy Gaddis 20 years ago.

Texas executes Mexican national for shooting a police officer despite diplomatic protests that it 'violated the U.S.'s international obligations'
Tamayo’s lawyers, the Mexican government and rights groups all say Tamayo was denied a fair trial because he failed to receive consular help, something which they say broke international law and could have helped him avoid the death sentence.

Perry did give in state tuition to illegals.
Probably still does, I’m not looking it up now, it’s likely not publicized.
I know people who spent decades in the military, retired there, then established texas state residency, and couldn’t get in state rates for their kids’ college for years.
Illegals got instant in state rates.
Perry.
I don’t know what other probably myriad bennies he gave or continues to give illegals but this is Perry.
He has done what to stem this invasion into his state?
Talked about getting the National Guard here.
Rand Paul is not any stitch better not a bit better.
None of them are The GOP loves illegals.
they could have done something about them. They could have beaten Obama if they’d wanted to.
Forty years after Roe V Wade, they still run on a pro life message, collecting money on promises to do something about abortion, for which everyone pays.
Nothing
Forty years? They wouldn’t know what to do without abortion.
They are horrible.
But Paul is included
There is plenty of room to call Perry a crooked little douchebag who’s only concern is power and wealth. He is famous for doing nothing and what he has done or tried, he would like you to forget, like the Cameron Todd willingham review. Perry let an innocent man die and splashed blood on the Texas flag. He deserves a firing squad along with wheels abbot.
. Take a look at his ethically crippled attorney general and the illegal CPRIT funds. I won’t even get into the dismal state of fathers rights where the wheel chair white knight has done nothing beyond support fembot groups. He even got an award for putting men in debtor prison, something outlawed a long time ago. Did you know Texas uses child support interest to balance the budget and the federal gov matches child support funds? It’s one giant racket to strip fathers rights and get them to pay so Texas has more money to send to political cronies and big business. Dare I bring up the cancer medicine racket where public funds are wasted private research the commoners can’t afford and spent like drunk sailors. I was at a leading cancer med center and it was disgusting. I wrote perry and wheels the white knight and got no response. I wrote them again and same thing, nothing.
Rick Perry and the ethical cripple known as Gregg abbot should leave Texas and take everyone of their corrupt butt buddies with them. They deserve the worst as they betrayed Texas and texans.
Neither Kerry or his boss give a rat's behind how Americans are treated by other countries. If they did Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi would be home by now.
He’s right.
Rand is right on this.
I know several people whose lives were saved at MD Anderson cancer clinic.
One had a cancer so rare that there were only 16 people with it in the world.
You lost me, with your diatribe, when you mocked AG Abbott’s physical condition. No thanks.
He's all over the place. Maybe he spent too much time in DC growing up as a rep's son to have a moral compass. Who knows what it is?
What we see is that he's all over the place. Besides that, there are two real good points Ron Paul makes. They are the damage the Federal Reserve has done and our over-reaching destructive foreign policy. Rand Paul hasn't said anything that leads me to think he supports those views.
I wish sanity could prevail. That would be Jeff Sessions as President. He has become more vocal recently. He's the one who has a solid record of getting to DC and keeping, spreading, and strengthening constitutional conservative viewpoints. (a gal can dream, can't she?)
Perhaps they want to leave the gangs and all become lawyers.
“...go pick on some democrat”
So true. If only these idiot Republicans would attack democrats like they attack each other. Paul is doing the dirty work for the democrats. Soon after Paul was elected, he told the illegals “we have a place for you”. There is about twenty things wrong with that pathetic statement.
UT is prime territory, probably.
No Governor of Texas can deport an Illegal. That belongs to the Feds. Any governor of Texas has a big problem, millions of illegals that he can not get rid of no matter what he does. Our public schools are supported by sales tax and property tax generally. We have a separate tuition for out of state residents because they previously had not lived in Texas and paid no Taxes to Texas. Many of the Illegals have lived in Texas and paid taxes just like us so they are supporting our public schools. To deny them a higher education would create a permanent lower caste. That is the logic of Rick Perry and I agree with it.
I wonder how “instate tuition” is said in Spanish.
You are partially correct, those are the facts but it was the logic of the majority of the Tx congress and senate.
Perry could not have vetoed the bill if he had wanted too.
We are stuck with lemons by the fed.
They were trying to make lemonade by saying “Jeez, if we can’t deport them, and are forced to support them, doesn’t it make sense to help them become self sufficient?”
Contribuyente innecesario financiado por educación que debería haber ido a un Americano.
There you go again...opining, this time in Spanish. :)
