Charging in state tuition to illegal aliens is a service. It is a discount that American citizens cannot get...duh.

As for the rest, yes he should have arrested the offending employers, arrested the parents, and sent them packing back to their own country.

Higher education is not a right. It is not even a right of American citizens, not an entitlement, not provided for in the Constitution, and certainly not the right of law-breaking criminals.

Just to be clear. The conservative position, concerning in state tuition, as Huckabee proposed it, and the cause for great indignation is that illegals would be receiving the benefits, a reduction in the actual cost, that the American taxpayer purchases, and that is essentially another form of welfare to people who shouldn't even be here, and because they are not contributing to the system. Have I got it?

And is that the actual difference between out of state and in state tuitons? Because the out of stater didn't contribute in the state he is attending school, he pays the actual cost of his education?
