Just because a legislature does or does not pass something, it does not neccessarily support “Most People” have no problem with it. Look at Tarp, stimulus, ect. etc. and Obamacare. You think the WE THE PEOPLE supported that?
Sorry, but I guess I just run with a different crowd that thinks if you are not a resident, you do not receive the benefits.
How about anchor babies. That is what you get with illegals that you facilitate staying in the states. Is that OK with you? How about “Most People”?
No, I don’t agree with illegal immigration or anchor babies but, one is basically due to lack of interest by the FedGov and the latter is the law of the land.
It hasn’t always been like that in Texas. At one time we refused to educate their children. Then the Feds stepped in.

Point is, this all goes back to Federal law. If you want to change the system, that’s where you go.
