“The American way is not to give taxpayer-subsidized benefits to people who have broken our laws and are here in the United States illegally,” Bachmann said at the CNN/Tea Party Express debate.
Perry defended the law, saying it was a states’ rights issue.
“We were clearly sending a message to young people that, regardless of what the sound of their last name is, that we believe in you,” Perry said.

Perrybot here. And a middle-age person with a different sounding name who was once a young person with a different sounding name whose parents came here legally and can provide the documents to prove it.
Perry's answer was lame.
OF COURSE it's a states' rights issue. OF COURSE it's good to show young people you believe in them.
The question is, has this legislation benefitted Texas in any way?
Further, would he, as President, promote legislation making it mandatory for EVERY state to offer out-of-country tuition?
My gut tells me he wouldn't but since nobody followed up on that, I guess we'll have to find out the hard way.
We should be doing that on a national level (and I include the Obama investigation in that remarks as well...).
Well I sure do! I'm only about 35-40 miles away from one of the largest border crossings...and let me tell you, the Mexican gang and drug killings are spilling across the border plenty fast.
We have had several beheadings down here in San Diego Northern Mexico. It's out of control! Perry talking all warm and fuzzy to La Raza sends chills up my spine!
1. Crack down on employers who hire illegals
2. Stop all freebies and benefits the illegals are getting.
3. Continue the fence that Duncan Hunter started
Dry up the money and you lose the reason for them coming here. Build the fence to make it harder for them than just walking across a broken wooden fence laying on the ground!
” Perry might the RIGHT CALL on in-state tuition, has not backed down from his decision (which was made overwhelmingly by both houses in the state legislature before he signed the bill), and I SUPPORT HIS DECISION !!!! “
Great a long time sleeper TROLL gives us his 2 cents. This is a conservative forum, sir.
So, why aren’t you calling for your state to round them up and deport ‘em? Are you going to vote out your Republican leadership in the state for not doing so?
Darrell Issa (R-CA) has been investigating Obama and Holder rather relentlessly for about 18 months, but the RINO-GOP-Cowardplex has done nothing to help him.
What I mean is that it is possible for a politician to come to his senses from 5 or 10 years ago. But instead of getting better, his own words this year are worse than 5 years ago, when he said he was opposed to “citizenship status” for illegals.
Sometimes people change.............and then again, sometimes they don’t : )
In fact, another thread this morning points to some citizen’s group (yeah) seeking ethics charges against Issa. I wonder who’s really behind that...
And since you know all about it and do not report it to the FBI or the Texas Rangers about their activities, you are aiding and abetting the Zetas...
Why should anyone listen to a illegal alien drug mob supporter?
Same logic, after all. Perry know about it and does nothing, right?
And you know about it and do nothing, too.
So what’s good for him is good for you.
Trump! Where are you?
One thing I would point out is that since IIRC sometime during the Clinton era, Congress mandated that these children of illegals be admitted to public schools, an unfunded mandate, as it were. On average, that probably is $10K/student per year.
So, assuming a{n illegal}student meets the minimum requirement for in-state tuition, 3 years in TX schools, the state or local community has already had to pay (or invested) three years fully of his/her education. With no co-pay whatsoever.
How do you know that?
This reveals a paradigm that might exclude him from ever getting my vote. Not in the primary, not in the general. We don’t need anymore of these types of idiots, if that is really what he thinks.
What I do not like about Perry; Dream Act, Gardasil.
What I don’t like about Romney; RomneyCare, abortion, gay marriage, changes positions depending on the office he’s running for.
What I don’t like about Bachmann; No leadership experience whatsoever. That is an absolute killer.
None of the others matter, they don’t have a shot in hell. Of the three I’m voting for Perry.
The “last name” comment assumes everyone with Spanish last names are illegals. It’s racist isn’t it?
Yep, I’ve been calling for that, along with the removal of all government benefits and support for a long time now.
But, as you know, that does not build a fence. So, by the logic of the typical anti-Perry post, you are a RINO for suggesting anything other than a fence.
For the fence, AND ONLY THE FENCE, is the way to secure the border and reduce illegal immigration. To suggest anything else... wow! Must be a DU troll or something.
(end sarcasm)
I was thinking that. Someone should have said, In a disappointed voice, the way I’d talk to my 4 year old, “Rick, that’s just stupid.”
Please learn the facts, their parents ARE TAXPAYERS in Texas.
The fence is the ONLY WAY, no other way is allowed. It is verboten!
To think that we allow anyone to speak of ways to reduce illegal immigration outside of the FENCE is, is, is... an atrocity!
Ban the DU troll for suggesting anything other that a FENCE!!!
(end sarcasm)
Sounds familiar, don't it?
:-P
