Its important to point out that there is a huge difference in the Texas Dream Act and the The Dream Act that was pushed in Congress and failed. The Dream Act in Congress was full of all kinds of goodies other than allowing children of illegals to receive in state tuition. The Texas Dream Act was focused only on that. I happen to agree with The Texas Dream Act, and so did everyone in the Senate in Texas. It passed with ZERO no votes. Add to that, it has been proven to be successful.
These are a few things you need to know about the Texas Dream Act. The child has to have lived in Texas the three years leading up to high school graduation. These students are given no special treatment in getting into Texas colleges and universities. They must get in on their own merit. They are paying the tuition (with or without financial aid). Its estimated that these students make up about 1% of those entering college.

Most of us agree that border control MUST be dealt with first. The problem with all other efforts on this issue in the past is that the borders were not sealed. If there is anyone who we can trust to do that it is Gov. Perry (if he decides to run for President). He knows what goes on down at the border. He has gone there many times. He knows what needs to be done. There is no doubt in my mind that if he were President, he would seal our borders. But Perry also understands Hispanic outreach.

I think it is discriminatory against American citizens for the governor to give foreigners in state tutition while denying Americans the same benefit on the backs of Texas taxpayers. Are Mexicans more special to Perry than are Americans?
It has been said that Perry is a better president of Mexico and representative of the Mexican people than he is as Texas governor, stabbing Texans in the back on behalf of jobs and benefits for Mexicans.
This is a problem. He is also in pursuit of creating a North American Union that would make our constitution and governing bodies subservient to a globalist run government and law. Where does he stand on Algore’s global warming scam? What about the politically correct abuses of the Patriot Act - will he axe Homeland inSecurity to the size it needs to be to go after jihadists as intended and leave Americans alone?
So many questions...
Then talk to the Supreme Court about it.
You and I do not know who Giuliani would have nominated to the Supreme Court. But that’s water under the bridge now.
We should not need a court to protect us against treasonous politicians. They should not be elected to power once they show their colors.
Then talk to the Supreme Court about it.
Why?
Georgia recently passed a law that prohibits anyone in the country illegally from receiving in-state tuition rates at any state college. And before that the governor issued an executive order prohibiting it.
Neither has been overturned by a court.
