Are you FOR the children of illegals getting the preferential treatment of paying less in tuition than legal Americans from out-of-state? Yes or no???
Most of those kids have lived in Texas most of their lives.
I don’t blame Perry - I blame the Federal Government.
If the Federal Government would secure the border and enforce the illegal immigration laws this would not be an issue.
The Federal Government does not allow Texas to enforce immigration law. The Federal Government will not allow Texas to deport illegals. The Federal Government forces Texas to not only educate illegals kids through high school but also the medical/hospitals have to treat them for their illnesses. When illegals are turned over to the Federal Government - they turn them back out on the street.
If we pass laws regarding immigration - the Federal Government will sue us just like they did Arizona.
Texas passed a law just months ago that you have to show proof of being a US Citizen to get a drivers license and a Federal Court put a stop on it.
This problem has to be dealt with on a Federal Level first.
Once the Federal Government enforces the illegal immigration laws, secures the border and reverses the law that requires states to educate illegals kids then the problem will cease to exist.
Do you think people who oppose that are “heartless”?
I think they do not understand the situation the Federal Government has put the state of Texas in.
People are blaming Texans and Perry for something that is a situation arising out of the Federal Governments ineptitude and failure to do it’s job.
And why Texas? There are many other states who have the same law and they are not even border states.
I believe many people have misplaced their anger against Perry, Texans and innocent kids who committed no crime.
I believe they should be angry with their government.
