Perry would be smart to concede that his views regarding illegal aliens is simply not transferrable on a national scale. What may allegedly work in Texas (probably just for political expediency) will not work nationally.

I agree, he should make that point. I think he half-heartily tried, he needs to clarify.
In-state tuition is a state matter and the students of illegals have paid state taxes through sales tax, property taxes etc. for at least three years. (I don’t like it but it was legislated in...so).
But if he would make clear he doesn’t believe that should be legislated on a national level. Only by the individual states and according to the will of that states constituents.
Controlling the border and enforcing immigration laws is the job that belongs to the feds and if the feds did their job, Texas wouldn’t be legislating laws to deal with children of illegals. (trying to make lemonade out of lemons) It would be a moot point, if the feds were doing their job.
I took it that they had to pay out of pocket. Maybe I misunderstood Perry on Hannity. He said they had to pay out of pocket and that no government funding was involved. Perhaps he meant if they had not been in the state for three years yet.

Very well said. I wish I could express myself like you and some of the others.
