I just re-read your in-state tuition screed. To qualify for in-state tuition rates one must live in-state, so I’m not sure how your argument applies. Second, if a person is born in the US, that person is a citizen no matter when or how the parents got here. Neither you nor I agree with that, but it is the current case law. So how could Texas refuse in-state tution to a US citizen of one ethnicity (Hispanic / Mexican) while granting it to another (Anglo)? Can you name any sane lawyer who would want to defend that?
Finally, since there is no state statute empowering any public education institution to verify citizenship (see earlier comment on who controls the Texas legislature), any school that would attempt such verifications would be acting outside of the law - another indefensible position regardless of how admirable it might be to some.

THAT’S THE POINT!!! If you are from Mexico, you go to Texas universities for greatly reduced rates. If you are from Oklahoma, screw you. In-state tuition rates should not be offered to illegal aliens!!!
