It didn’t matter if Perry vetoed the bill.It passed in the legislature with enough votes to be overridden if Perry did veto it.It was a catch 22 situation. Damned if you do,damned if you don’t.

By calling them "heartless," Perry personally attacked, on national television, 81% of the American people. The inference was that only Perry was Truly Worthy (b/c he had sucked up to Mexico).

Perry amply demonstrated where his loyalties lie......his comments in two debates make it clear that if we, as United States citizens, do not agree with his pandering to foreign governments, we are heartless racists.

Perry has spent most of his political career pandering to ILLEGAL aliens...... handing out govt freebies, enticing hordes of them over the border, looking away as the savage Zetas cartels setup drug operations in Dallas, sucking up to Mexico, etc, etc, etc.

Now, keep in mind, a rank political opportunist like Perry does not lift his little finger unless he gets a payoff.

Heck, I'd guess there's "hundreds of millions" of reasons why Perry would thumb his nose at his own country and its citizens.

[sodpoodle]

Critics of Rick Perry are inferring that illegal immigrants get a ‘free college education’.

Doesn’t this program simply state that a ‘resident’ of Texas gets a lower rate than a student whose family resides in another State?

Distortion?

[Trteamer]

I’m done with him. It’s over, he can get lost and quit wasting our time.

Herman Cain is the only one up there offering solutions, not political feel good pandering......

Most of these children have been taught in Texas (Or in other states) schools for years. Some ent through Elementary, Middle and High school, at a cost of thousands of dollars already.

They have a basic education, through High School at the expense of citizens—taxpaying citizens.
They should thank us for that,instead we are heartless if we do not want to send them to college at In-state tuition rates.
Many of these heartless people, myself included, cannot afford to send our own kids to college, but now we are expected to college educate someone else’s kid who does not belong in this country at all.A basic qualification for in-state college funds should be that those who ask for them apply for American citizenship.Especially since they have been sucking off the American taxpayer for years to start with.

If they do not wish to become Americans thay should go the fudge back to where they do want to belong, and stop sucking off us.

[IbJensen]

It’s too bad for America that true Conservatives aren’t running for president.

Jim Demint and Jeff Flake come to mind immediately.

Is America to be stuck with a RINO Republicrat candidate yet again?

[TexasFreeper2009]

It’s called states rights folks!

If the state of Texas wants to (by overwelming margins) give all the children who live here a break on tuition rates, then it has the right to do so.

[OrioleFan]

I would like to know if Pennsylvania is one of the states that offers in-state tuition to illegals and children of illegals, because both of my Ohio kids go to college there. I’d love to get the in-state break illegals get.

[Mr Rogers]

As I just posted on another thread...

All he really needed to do is reply:

“As Governor of a state, deportation of the parents isn’t an option. I don’t have the authority to make that decision, and the federal government won’t do it. That leaves me and Texans trying to figure out how to deal with the mess the federal government gave us. We decided that if the parents are allowed to stay per the federal government, and the children they have born here are US citizens per the Constitution, then we might as well make education available to the kids who were born prior to the parent’s arrival.

Maybe some don’t like it, but that is the compromise we had to make in a difficult situation, and I still believe that is right for Texas.”

A reply like that wouldn’t make some folks happy, but it isn’t spitting on us or calling us names.

---

The problem with Perry wasn’t that he disagrees with some of us on policy, but that he called us names - in a true Democrat politician manner. And if he feels free to spit on us and despise us while asking for our votes, what will he do in DC, surrounded by liberals on every side?

Just in case someone isn't bothered having FACTS get in the way of all this hype:

THE TRUTH FOUND A VOICE IN RICK PERRY

[WFTR]

I hope that we’ll be finished with Rick Perry soon. He’s clearly not a conservative.

[BobL]

Politicians either “get it” regarding illegal immigration, or they don’t get it. If you get it, then you know that every move you make to “help” illegals just draws more of them to the country. If you want to give illegals a free ride on education, if you’re against a the wall, believe me, it was understood and very well publicized south of the border (and north too, in the communities that count).

I’ve been saying that Perry is an Open Borders Republican, and he CLEARLY IS, after his outburst on Tuesday. He also showed something that we in Texas have ALWAYS KNOWN - which is that he is unable to admit a mistake and change position. Whether it’s selling off control of our highways to foreign interests (which he’s still doing, by the way), or the HPV vaccine, or his Dream Act (and no, he never said he was wrong pushing the HPV, he only said that he should have mandated it through the legislature, rather than by executive order).

It’s looking like he’s had his day, and will follow the Richard Roirden route. Riorden (sp.) was a good mayor in Los Angeles, but then he decided to run for governor as a Republican. He was so sure that he had it in the bag that he started lecturing Republican PRIMARY voters about how he planned to change the party to make it “more inclusive” regarding gays and similar types. His campaign for governor ended that day.

Perry’s support of tuition for children of illegals puts him in GOP crosshairs

Could be his Waterloo or Fonzi skiing moment.

Perry’s support of tuition for children of Murderers and Rapists puts him in GOP crosshairs (An Alternate Universe story)

Once upon a time, in Alternate Universe Earth, a liberal flip-flopper named Romney, who had once supported abortion, gun controls, something called Romneycare and had tried to be just as liberal as somebody called Ted Kennedy when running for Senator, decided to run for President.

An extremely liberal, some would say Marxist, President was already in office so the road to the Presidency was through a Party called the GOP whose base was very conservative.

The polling leader in the GOP nomination race was a Governor of a state called Texas who, must be admitted, was overconfident, a poor debater and had foolishly decided not to practice very much for the debates. Romney a skilled debater, decided that he would set a trap by making Murderers and Rapists an issue.

Some politicians had advocated spending Billions of dollars building a Wall around every city to keep out Murderers and Rapists. That sounded like a very impractical idea to Perry since Murderers and Rapists would simply jump over, cut through or dig under the Walls with ease. Perry said that more Police "boots on the ground" were needed to stop the Murderers and Rapists.

The day of the third debate, Romney was joined in his plan by many of the other so-called "dwarves" that did not have much of a chance. The poorly prepared Perry was a pork chop in a pit bull kennel.

All night long, the cry ran out, "Build Walls! Build Walls around every city to keep out Murderers and Rapists!"

All night long, Perry said that building Walls was a waste of money since any Murderer and Rapist faced with a 20 foot Wall could simply rent a 21 foot ladder. What was needed was more "boots on the ground".

All to no avail. Romney's plan was working.

"If Perry is against The Walls, then Perry is FOR Murderers and Rapists!"

Then came the clincher: In Alternate Universe Texas, the children of convicted Rapists and even Murderers on Death Row paid in-state tuition rates if those children had grown up in Texas during their high school years. (That is even true on our own Earth.) Alternate Universe Texas did not believe in punishing innocent children for the Sins of the Father. The conservative Texas Legislature had even voted 98%, 177 to 4, to keep things that way.

But, Romney pushed his point during the debate: If Perry agrees with 98% of the conservative Texas Legislature that the sons and daughters of Rapists and Murderers who grew up in Texas during their high school years should be charged in-state tuition rates, then Perry was FOR Rapists and Murderers.

At one point, the poorly prepared Perry (his mother warned him that he should have practiced for the debates) was so frustrated that he blurted out, "If you say that we should not educate children who have grown up our state for no other reason than what their fathers did by no fault of their own, I don't think you have a heart."

The next morning, the headlines read: "Perry says that those who oppose Murderers and Rapists have no heart."

The plan worked.

Perry was attacked on all sides and his polls sank while Romney soared to the top of the polls in the GOP nomination race.

Then, in January 2013, a man was sworn in as President of a country called the United States. At best, that man was liberal Romney and, at worst, that man was a Marxist named Obama.

Which of the two men became President?

That is another story. This story only deals with how a liberal called Romney played conservatives like a cheap fiddle.

[Manic_Episode]

Yet once again, NOT the conservative position.

The pattern, the pattern, the pattern.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

I believe it is a good idea to hold Perry’s feet to the fire re illegal aliens. (As well as other candidates)

The Republican politicians are just as bad as the Democrats when it comes to stopping illegal aliens.

The Republicans like illegal aliens because it keeps wages down.

The Democrats like illegal aliens because it represents future voters.

The American public is fed up with illegal aliens.

At some point the Trade Union Bosses will join with Tea Party Conservatives to jointly get rid of illegal aliens.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

“””If you’re a United States citizen from any one of the other 49 states, you have to pay $100,000 more,” Mr. Romney said, alluding to the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition at the University of Texas over four years. “That doesn’t make sense to me. That kind of magnet draws people into this country to get that education, to get the $100,000 break. It makes no sense.” “”

And what are the magnets that drew Obama’s aunt and uncle to illegally feed at the government trough in Massachusetts?
