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?

Since no university has unlimited capacity, and given that most state universities in Texas are operating at full capacity, every ILLEGAL student admitted is taking the place that should be occupied by a legal student. Given that the earning capacity of a college graduate is considerable higher over a lifetime than that of a non-graduate, by admitting illegals the schools are in essence restricting the legal student’s financial advancement and promoting that of the illegal student.
What part of ILLEGAL do liberals not understand. I love it when they say they are going to restrict legal action and deportation to those who have committed a crime... HELLO being here illegally IS a crime !! How long do you think you or a Central American would last in Mexico illegally?
