Well, not quite ..... If you graduated high school in another state...Oklahoma or Arkansas and then moved to Texas you do not qualify for in-state tuition for a period of time...However if you come from Tiajuana or Juarez, viola’ in-state tuition rates !! Rewarding illegal behavior rarely has positive consequences.
Even the ILLEGAL ones.
D, what was that whole dream act, Texas version thing about? Do you think that whole educating illegal kids thing happens free?
For a supposed Professor, you don’t understand how things work very well. I think you made that up. No Professor thinks education happens for ‘free’. If they do, they deserve to have their license to teach revoked.
His Texas ‘Residents’ include illegals D.
DRey,
I have heard that it is now close to $30,000.00 per person to go through the citizenship process. This is something I want to confirm, but I have heard that from a good enough source that I feel that is probably fairly accurate. Also, our married daughter has some friends (another married couple) currently going through that process, and I know they have had to come up with just around $60,000.00 for them both to go through the citizenship process.
I know the DREAM Act does not set well with people, but it does make me step back and think how little the discount for an in-state tuition for residents in the citizenship process already is when compared to the costs they are undertaking to become a United States Citizen. And I’ve not even mentioned the WORK that goes with becoming an American citizen!
While these residents that are in the citizenship process may be getting an in-state rate, I hardly think they are getting something for free.
