Lol Watch out for endless prating about tuition breaks for illegals and no border fence along 1200 miles of mostly private land.

There are no tuition breaks for illegals. It’s a case of, if you attend a TX high school for three years and if you graduate and want to attend college, you will be charged in state tuition, you will not be investigated as a possible illegal because you have an hispanic last name.

In Texas we have millions of Hispanics whose families have been here for generations. They don’t even know when anybody came from somewhere else to Texas, their family here goes back so far into the dim mists of record or memory. They join the military in droves and have died in all of our wars. They are dying today in Afghanistan. But no, they won’t trigger an automatic investigation into them if they try to enroll in college after high school. Perish the thought, how terrible of RINO Texas. This law passed both Texas legislative bodies with almost zero opposition.

But that is what you will get, along with feigned horror that we aren’t trying to get land from its rightful owners over a one thousand two hundred mile border to build a continuous fence.

That group has very few members (if any) who are in the country illegally.

I fully support assigning blame to the legislatures, when the item in question was passed into law by a legislature. But using this standard also affects how one approaches Romneycare, also passed by a state legislature.

And in the Texas DREAM Act, the state is endorsing (at least pretending to look the other way) an alien staying in the country illegally.

LOL is that absurd. Whatever long time Hispanics you have there are vastly outnumbered by the illegal alien Mexican invaders of the last 10-20-30 years. The older Hispanics will complain about being swamped in Texas by the new illegal alien border jumpers
New Mexico has quite a few Hispanics who have been there for 150+ years but they too are vastly out numbered by the illegal alien hordes of the last few decades
