That is largely because of THIS issue and voter ID!
Ah, so the now Republican legislature has obviously been submitting bills to the Governor to repeal “in-state tuition” for illegals. If I recall, VoterID was signed recently by Perry, so I assume Perry vetoed the “in-state tuition” repeal, since obviously it overwhelmingly has “the will of the people” to back it up?
