Good point. Although, it annoys me to no end that I have to prove my legal status since I was born here and am clearly an American.
In any case, while I was questioning the practicalities of a school having to verify status (you're right, employers do it routinely now), I absolutely oppose any law giving an explicit right to something they have no right to.
Perry is wrong to back a law granting a right to anyone here illegally. And this is my problem with Perry; he has been soft on this from the beginning.
Perry is a disappointment. Even though he “got tough” with the border it is all show - illegal aliens are turned over to BP. They should be dropped in their tracks.
Can’t argue your last point. Regarding legality, I suspect that probably wouldn’t be a big deal. For example, I’m sure that 95% of incoming students have driver licenses, and if they’re from Texas, that means they’re here legally (I think)...just for starters. If you don’t have a driver license, then they might get a bit more intrusive.
But still, I STRONGLY suspect that the schools already have a very good idea who’s legal and who’s not, considering all the data we have to turn over to apply (and especially to collect financial aid).
