If they don’t get the permanent green card (legal residency) then they won’t be able to get a job or a drivers license.
According to this, it is not just a Texas or Calif thing.
24 states with in-state tuition or bills introduced for children of illegals who qualify.

Several states — Texas, California, New York, Utah, Illinois, Washington, Nebraska, New Mexico, Maryland (community colleges), Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Kansas — have passed state laws providing in-state tuition benefits to illegal aliens who have attended high school in the state for three or more years.
Similar legislation is pending in Florida, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
(Connecticut also passed such a law, but the governor vetoed it.)
The Nevada system of higher education does not consider immigration status for in-state tuition, but does require it for a state-sponsored scholarship.
Also, some schools in Georgia provide in-state tuition benefits to illegal aliens.
And? Does this make them conservative or not?
I dare say, not.
If you have any information that will help in my understanding of this legislation in TX that Mr. Perry has obviously endorsed, I’d be glad to see it.
