This is a completely ridiculous statement. It can't be build in the river? It can't be build right off of it? What about 100m inland? 200m? A mile? Weak B.S.
It is not financial support. It simply allows US born chldren of illegals to attend Texas colleges at the in-state tuition rate.
These statements are contradictory. I'm a citizen of WA state. Can I get in-state tuition in TX? No? I'm the child of illegal aliens. Can I get in-state tuition now? Hmmm....
Even the bastion of liberalism, the Dallas Morning News said this is a benefit to colleges as they get more tuition.
A liberal newspaper likes taxpayer money being spent to offset the costs of illegal aliens? Color me shocked.
Look, Perry might be a great candidate, but I get really annoyed at the hero worship when he hasn't earned it. For all we know, TX is in great shape b/c it's legislature meets so infrequently. He deserves scrutiny, not cheerleaders, as is true for all of the candidates.
Plus, with the whole Gardasil debacle, can we REALLY trust him to dump ObamaCare? Maybe we can, but I'm not convinced. Romney talks a big game about killing ObamaCare, too, and I don't believe a word he says.
You are just arguing pointlessly. I will mess with you one more time.
No, you cannot get in-state tuition in Texas. Only Texans can.
However, a number of states have similar programs where children of illegals born here can receive that benefit.
I’m aware of what you said about liberal press, but the DMN does anything possible to discredit Perry and their admission that the program was good for Texas in many ways was contradictory to their usual positions.
You called my attempts to explain the fence problem weak B.S.
I’m gonna return the favor. Your whole post (which you seemed to think cleverly refuted everything I was kind enough to attempt to explain to you) was weak B.S.
Perry supporters don’t worship him, we had that with Cain supporters.
With Perry supporters we love, respect and admire the man not only for his personal virtues but for his consistent conservatism and for the way he has led Texas into remaining a prosperous growing economy when so many states are faltering.
No, you still couldn't get in-state tuition in Texas as the child of an illegal. Those children must attend Texas schools for three years immediately preceding their application for in-state tuition.
But you could move to Texas and reside here one full year to get in-state tuition. 1 year versus 3 years. You get preference over them.
