Thanks for the clarification. However, you would do well to follow the links to an objective evaluation of Perry’s positions and the most common complaints against him. On the instate tuition thing he required that all illegals who had been in Texas for at least three years and who had graduated from a Texas high school could get instate tuition IF they applied for citizenship. That application would then be processed as are all others.

That is not amnesty and that does not guarantee citizenship. It does, however, smoke some of the illegals out of the underbrush. Is that bad?

With a degree they could be more productive citizens if they become one. If they did not graduate from college or a trade school or whatever, they would still be better qualified, if they were sent back to Mexico, to be productive there. He is not giving them a free ride. They must still pay tuition and with a degree they are less likely to ever be on the dole if they become citizens through the approved process.

I am not sure I like it but it does have some plusses.

Again, you should follow this link and get more insight into the issues about Perry.

Nobody here just fell off the turnip truck. We know very well there's no way an illegal alien can just apply for citizenship. That's a null set.

You must first have status as an immigrant, be present here for a number of years, and then apply for citizenship ~ and pass a test.

No visa; no application approval!

The whole "apply for citizenship" thing is such a piece of fraud those of us who know the ropes on immigration look at Perry and ask, seriously, why does that doufous expect us to believe that CR*P. And if he believes it himself, why would anyone on either side of the question vote for him!

Maybe it's the case with Texas voters that they do judge people on quality of hair, palor in the light, texture of the suit ~ this guy, like all the others, has to show us more than that!
