Must be the new hipster glasses. What a puke.
NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!!
Our governments tax us to spend on foreigners!
Good bumper sticker!
Seriously?! WTF?
Might as well just let the Mexican president into the White House. It doesn’t make a difference. Neither of them are American.
Its easy to determine if someone has been in Texas long enough to merit “in-state” tuition. The question of their immigration status is a legal one that the schools aren’t competent to decide.
The law may make them sign an affidavit promising to apply for permanent residence, but if they didn’t do anything, didn’t out themselves, then what? Who is going to know the difference?
Why do foreigners get better deals and benefits than American citizens? I do not understand why voters do not punish these politicians.
Governor Rick Scott just did the same thing in Florida.......
...strangely, when all of us conservatives were working/volunteering/donating towards the election, he sure didn’t let us know this was one of his priorities.
He is so very wrong on this issue. As a parent with one in college and one heading there next year . . . my kids pretty much have to go in-state as we can’t afford out of state tuition. Yet illegals get in-state when they shouldn’t even in-country~!!! Kick them out!!!!
We need to define terms. Is he talking about kids who have gone through the school system from grade 1?
He still believes conservatives don’t have hearts, eh?
He already is. He has a few die-hard liberal supporters but conservatives are well aware of his pro-ILLEGAL alien record and because of it, rejected him long ago.
Perry receives a serape from Mexican Gov Enrique Martinez of Coahuila, as a token of appreciation for enacting the Texican Dream Act.
I trust no one when it comes to illegals. Every one has his price.
...back to the OLD Rick Perry. No surprise for us Texans.
If ONLY he could have admitted his mistake. That was a PERFECT TIME to do so. He simply could have said something like: “Yes, at the time, I was only thinking of the children that were dragged here by their parents long ago...but when you see the thousands of kids crossing the Southern Border, it becomes obvious that this law is part of the problem.”
With that, he would have had a ticket to November, 2016 (whether he believed it or not), but once again, yet another Republican gets TIED UP IN KNOTS over illegal immigration...they just can’t seem to figure out what 95% of the people ON THIS SITE understand - which is that when hand out goodies to Illegals, more Illegals will show up for them.
Yes, in 2001, Texans thought it was a good idea to allow illegal alien minors to pay in-state tuition rates to get an education if they were going to remain in Texas. Illegal alien apprehensions were substantially decreasing across the entire South Texas border. The idea was to prevent further drain on state financial resources. That was then.
Things change. Now we have hundreds of illegal alien children being invited across the border. They’re bringing infectious diseases and viruses with them and sickening our children. The drain on our financial resources has yet to be calculated, but it is substantial and not sustainable.
Don’t invite them. Deport them!
Meet the new La Raza Rickie. .. same as the old La Raza Rickie.
