No one is giving them free tuition. That is a lie the haters are telling about Perry. They have to pay resident tuition, which isn’t that much less than out-of-state in Texas.

D, your lack of basic comprehension isn’t a good thing. Get some before spreading more nonsense like this.

“They have to pay resident tuition, which isn’t that much less than out-of-state in Texas.”

In-state tuition at Texas A&M (St. Rick's school), is slightly over $8k while out of state tuition is over $22k. You have a strange idea of “isn't much less.”

Liar. Non-resident tuition is more than double:

The comment about the free tuition refers to elementary and high schools here in Texas. That is free to Illegals somehow, although I haven’t figured out how as the school my grandson attends is requesting a social security card for him for some reason.
And the illegal in college is still occupying a position that in my opinion should have been occupied by a legal resident. Most state universities in Texas are full and turn legal students away which then deprives them of the education that is afforded to an illegal squatter who has no legal right to be in the State!

I would guess others have hammerred you over this but the business school tuition at UT for residents is 5369.00 for 2011-2012 and the out-of-state tuition rate is 17824.00. Therefore the Texas taxpayer is subsidizing the illegals by almost 12,000 dollars per school year.
What sense does it make for the state to allow someone not legally here to even be there in the first place, and secondly pay 12,000 less than a legal resident from any other state in the US. We have not annexed the Mexican states, yet!
I’d say over 3 X more is a considerable difference in rates.
