Was there a candidate on that stage who has specifically said no to some type of amnesty or other? I know everyone talks about sealing the border but what happens next?
Regarding Perry's policy, as I understand it, it's basically all graduates of Texas high schools who have spent three years in state qualify for in-state tuition.
This means that the Texas higher-ed authorities aren't tasked with performing in-depth investigations of immigration status.
Correct me if I'm wrong. This, btw, is not giving "scholarships to illegals"
I have much less of a problem with using high school graduation as a benchmark for tuition breaks than with giving free health to illegals as is done in, say, Massachusetts under RomneyCare.
I'll grant Perry should refrain from calling those expressing concern about the policy as being "without hearts".
So you subsidize the college education of illegals who graduate high school and so what then? You allow them to hold jobs as well? NO ENTITLEMENTS FOR ILLEGALS PERIOD.
