I was listening to a local talk show host in Dallas the other night and he said that there are 280 illegal immigrants going to the University of Texas in the Texas version of the Dream act---

In Texas the "affirmative action" route is by being in the top 10%-20% (I forget which, hopefully a Texas freeper will let us know) of each graduating class is guaranteed admission to a Texas state university---so it is "color blind" so to speak---

The problem is, a girl called into this show the other night and said she is going to a high school in this area, but and makes the percentage qualification, but the colleges are getting so crowded that she is afraid classes will be filled---but she knows that 280 of those seats are being filled at UT by illegals.....

Yep! It's all true! My son screams bloody murder at the beginning of every semester registration! The BEST day and morning classes are usually taken up by ...you've guessed it! OH AND, they don't have to pay out of town or out of country tuition...HOW YOU LIKE THEM APPLES!! The majority of the University parking lots are taken up...yep you've guessed it..Mexican plates. It's a mess here too! There was an article in our local paper about some students who are graduating in May with degrees that CAN'T be used here in the US because they are NOT US citizens...the gall of them to complain...they outta GO BACK HOME and activate their degrees in their homeland so that they can improve living conditions in Mexico. And of course our stinking liberal town paper were so sensitive to their plight....UGH, It gets me so MAD I could SCREAMMMMMMMMMM!! :(
