Texas Republicans Fighting Over Crucial Immigration Education Law

A contingent of Texas Republicans are trying to repeal a 14-year-old law that allows immigrants to attend the state's colleges at in-state tuition rates, but Latino party members in the state see keeping the state's "Dream Act" crucial to growing the party with Hispanic voters, reports The Wall Street Journal.

"This is a mission to uphold what we believe is Republican heritage, a Republican legacy," said GOP activist Artemio Muniz, who sees maintaining the law vital to the party's voting bloc in Texas, where Latinos equal nearly a third of the state's voters.

And through the years, members of his political party supported the Texas Dream Act, which then-Gov. Rick Perry signed in 2001. However, the state's newly elected Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and other lawmakers want the measure killed.

"It’s a question of fairness to American citizens," Patrick has said about the repeal bill, which made it through a state Senate committee this month.

According to La Raza Rick, these people “have no heart”.

[TADSLOS]

It’s not a “contingent”, like some kind of fringe element and Muniz can pound sand.

It is wrong that illegal aliens get better tuition rates than American citizens. No illegal alien anywhere should get in-state tuition. They should be deported. And schools offering lower rates to illegal aliens than to American citizens should lose all federal funding.

Even the New York GOP controlled Senate killed the Tuition on steroids plan.

Even Christie’s tuition bill was not as bad as Perry’s.

I believe Sandy Fitzgerald is talking about illegal aliens, not immigrants. If so, the article's bias approaches that of being a lie; immigrants are here legitimately, illegal aliens are not.

We’re STILL trying to rid ourselves of the last of the Rick Perry legacy and actually become a CONSERVATIVE state. This issue should be a NO-BRAINER for just about anyone with an “R” next to his name (I’d give a handful of Republicans in Hispanic majority districts some breathing room on this, maybe...but that’s it).

There should be no ‘struggle’...yet we still have a political party to clean up here.

[lonestar]

Get real! Federal law demands illegal aliens get free public education K-12...and in their native language!

In-statue tuition is just the tip of the iceberg. Here's another
reason why lawmakers are acting against tax-paid giveaways.

Texas Muslim---Serial Killer of Christians---on Disability and Food Stamps,
had Diamonds and 200 Credit Cards Hidden on Texas property
Front Page Magazine | 6/20/2014 | Daniel Greenfield / FR Posted by Dqban22

This sort of thing is surprisingly common. The only reason it came to light is because the Texas Muslim settler committed two murders in Texas, one of which he actually got away with.

The murder of Christian believer, Gelareh Bagherzadeh, was reported earlier. Gelareh Bagherzadeh was an Iranian Christian who came to this country only to be murdered by a Muslim because she encouraged his daughter to marry the man she loved.

The Texas Muslim claimed he was too disabled to work. But he wasn't too disabled to kill.

BACKSTORY The Texan, a strict Muslim, was furious when his Jordanian-American daughter married a man without his permission. The Muslim, Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan, blamed his daughter’s husband, relatives say. They say he also faulted one of her closest friends, 30-year-old Gelareh Bagherzadeh, a Christian convert who widely denounced Islam.

<><> First Christian-believer Bagherzadeh was killed, gunned down outside her parents’ Texas Galleria townhouse complex in January 2012.

<><> Eleven months later, Irsan’s son-in-law died after being shot multiple times in northwest Texas, in the Harris County apartment he shared with his wife.

The Texas Muslim thought he could get away with murdering because he had already gotten away with so many other things in Texas.

Federal authorities executed a search warrant at Irsan’s sprawling, 5-acre property 40 miles north of Houston, where they allegedly found cash, diamonds, pearls, weapons and phony passports hidden in attic rafters, in secret compartments throughout a cluster of trailers and outbuildings and even inside the buried drum of a clothes dryer at the Conroe, Texas property.

The Muslim Irsan, his wife Shmou Ali Alrawabdeh, and another daughter were subsequently arrested on a variety of federal fraud charges and are in federal custody.

A federal criminal complaint detailing the discoveries recounts a saga of nearly 20 years in which the 57-year-old naturalized citizen from Jordan, and his family, allegedly scammed taxpayer disability assistance funds claiming “fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms,” and “affective disorders” while secreting real estate, vehicles and cash in US and foreign bank accounts.

The complaint also alleges the Muslim Irsan:

<><> was receiving taxpayer funds for a son not living in the US,

<><> maintained several addresses on the property to facilitate various schemes, and,

<><> once disabled a safety feature on a saw then purposefully cut himself to receive a $75,000 settlement.

The Muslim Ali was certainly industrious and entrepreneurial, just not quite in the way amnesty advocates like to claim.

Also found on the property was a makeshift gun range, which witnesses said “five or six Muslim families” frequently visited to fire AK-47s and information about Irsan’s attempts to get a silencer. Nothing to do with Islam I’m sure.

The rest of the scam ...... While there have been no allegations of terrorist ties regarding the Muslim family’s alleged (a) foreign bank accounts, and, (b) suspicious wire transactions, Irsan’s strict adherence to radical Islam may have been a motive in the alleged murders.

Authorities are also re-examining a 1999 case in which Irsan was not indicted after claiming self-defense in the shooting of son-in-law Amjad Alidam, who was married to Nasemah Rachelle Irsan.

And that’s not all. Prosecutors also revealed, in connection to the social security fraud and credit card charges against Irsan, that they found more than 200 credit cards with various names and multiple variations of his own name throughout the Irwin Keel home.

Arresting officers say they also found more than 40 similar credit cards in his wallet the morning he was arrested. His daughter also alleges, among multiple other schemes detailed in court documents, that Ali Irsan purposely disabled the safety device on a Ryobi rotary saw and purposely cut his own foot. Prosecutors say he used that injury to receive a $75,000 settlement from the manufacturer.

TEXAS LAWMAKERS NEED TO KNOW---Texas tax-payers did not even know then-Gov Perry was showering illegals w/ tax dollars---until the prez debate---when Perry glowered at Repubs....and said we said were heartless b/c we opposed-in-state tuition.

THEN-GOV PERRY ADRESSES LA RAZA

PERRY SUCKS-UP LIKE NO MAN BEFORE HIM Perry showered gave illegals w/ benefits, including tax dollars to overthrow the US govt.

REFERENCE--Subversive Texas Textbooks---distributed nationwide--- vilify conservative groups;

Breitbart Texas | 09/10/2014 | Merrill Hope / FR Posted by Rusty0604

In 2006, uber-liberal "Texas Rising" stated its mission: "developing an emerging generation of social justice-minded, informed and engaged leaders is essential to the long-term health of our communities and the development of progressive public policy in Texas."

...a sneak peak at the preliminary Social Studies textbook found including distortions, omissions and half-truths all passing for accurate high school US history...

And there's this gem: "The radical right consists of groups that sometimes gather under the flag of militant anticommunism. Often known as reactionaries, they denounce most forms of government regulation, including progressive taxation and restrictions and industry.Examples of political groups on the radical right are the John Birch Society, the National States & Rights party, The Christian Crusade, and the Tea Party movement."

Strangely enough, these cream puff radicals who abhor police power would not hesitate to use government police power to enforce the changes they desire.

=============================================

THIRD WORLD INFILTRATION College Board exams changed history answers... revisionist historians developed different answers to the question of what America’s story is about. From their perspective, at the heart of our country’s history—like the history of any other powerful nation—lies the pursuit of empire, of dominion over others. At its core, say the revisionists, America’s history is about our capacity for self-delusion, our endless attempts to justify raw power grabs with pretty fairy-tales about democracy. ....

NOTE WELL: This terrifying Third World revisionism is straight out of Third World textbooks---emphasizing the T/W effort to undermine US ntl security for the coming armed takeover.

The conniving T/W uses an ancient formula going back to Greco-Roman times---where savages, barbarians and thieves overrun a bountiful country lusting after its power and riches.

REFERENCE--- Some 10 years back, Texas schools started used Mexican textbooks for their backward illiterate Spanish-speaking students. Texas textbooks advocated the Mexican perspective including:

<><> anti-white, anti-capitalist anti-USA viewpoints;

<><> Mexican textbooks falsified US history,

<><> proselytized blood-thirsty La Raza savagery;

<><> using teaching as brainwashing;

<><> inculcating violent separatist, latino supremacy idealogy.

Here's Perry protecting US borders....and US ntl security (/snix).

Then-Gov Perry receives a serape from Mexican Gov
Enrique Martinez of Coahuila, as a token of appreciation
for enacting the Texican Dream Act....and in-statue tuition.

Ha ha—says it all.

[gogeo]

You know that when an article describes them as “immigrants” as though people migrated like waterfowl...what follows is nonsense.

[FlingWingFlyer]

If illegals want to go to “college”, they sould stay home and go to a college there.

[gogeo]

Why not ask the right question...why should taxpayers who follow the rules and work hard pay for this? Mr “Activist,” why don’t you explain that to them, face to face?

[Nextrush]

Over in England to really stand up on the immigration issue and restore border control, a third party option exists called UKIP. UKIP wants to get out of the EU and its immigration regulations that don’t allow Britain control of its borders.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Doesn’t Newsmax mean illegal aliens getting in-state tuition rates.

Oh, and by the way, amnesty pushers, it’s TEXAS, not Tejas or Texico.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

IMO, there are certainly Democrats in your state — most likely outside of Austin — who are quietly wondering why the F illegals should get better tuition rates than their friends’ kids from out of state.

If you can get some Democrats on board, then you may stand a chance of repeal.

Like I said before, it’s Texas, not Tejas or Texico (or Aztlan or Republica Del Norte . . .)
