D, what was that whole dream act, Texas version thing about? Do you think that whole educating illegal kids thing happens free?

For a supposed Professor, you don’t understand how things work very well. I think you made that up. No Professor thinks education happens for ‘free’. If they do, they deserve to have their license to teach revoked.

His Texas ‘Residents’ include illegals D.

Yeah, sure, Norm. I made it up. I'm not going to prove it to you so believe what you like.

Educating illegal kids who pay their own tuition is cost-effective, to be sure. These are kids that the feds refused to deport. Kids that grew up in Texas public schools and wouldn't know Juarez from Mexico City having never been to either. They are residents. Illegal residents, but residents. And they are not going away anytime soon, regardless of what you or I want. I'm not going to spend the time explaing to you the math on how it is cheaper to let them pay their own in-state tuition versus telling them to work in the onion fields, but it's a big savings and involves Perry's $349 million invoice to the federal government a day or two ago. Believe what you like.

One thing: you do realize the Texas Dream Act is different than the national one?
