One does not have to dig too deep to find garbage on Ricardo the Pan National Socalist RINO.

Volcker, as with any human being is not perfect. Only our creator can claim that title. So we take the good in proportion to the bad.

Rewarding children of illegals is a MAGNET for more illegals to flood in. Sorry, as a legal immigrant US Citizen myself, I just crossed Perry off my list.

GO HERMAN CAIN!

GO HERMAN CAIN!

Perry has proven to be a PROGRESSIVE,
stealing from American to give to criminals !

Children of illegal aliens are illegal aliens even if they were born in the US. Wishing has nothing to do with it, it is a fact backed up by 14th amendment.

If Perry believes in fencing... why did he argue with Santorum, during the debate that you can’t fence the whole border?

Because you can't physically fence the entire border. The Rio Grande is the physical border of America. Are you going to plunk a fence down right through the middle of it?

Or for that matter, plunk a fence down in the straits between Florida and Cuba? (you know, to stop the Cubans and the Haitians)

Stupid? Rather, the stupid among us seem to be those lapping up the twisting of the truth, as is being done by this author.

If you actually believe that every illegal alien that is allowed in state tuition meets all the requirements then you are as naive as they come. They violate numerous federal and state laws and you actually believe that they are going to be completely honest on an affidavit that is validated by college administrators. Lol

You are just wrong. Show me where anyone born here has ever been ruled a non-citizen. You can’t.

A transcript is not an affidavit, and nothing is being “validated” by college adminstrators. If the adminstrators are going to commit fraud, then they don’t need a dream act, do they?

The actual law is bad enough, you don’t need to make stuff up to make it sound worse than it is. You’re assumptions and theories are not the same as facts.

They don’t need a transcript. A G.E.D. will do.

“If they are illegal, they cannot work here as a roofer with or without a college education.

So, why should we provide college educations to those who will never be able to work legally in the US?”

Newsflash - they did cross the border, they are here, and they are working.

Blame Obama, not Rick Perry for letting people cross our national borders illegally - the Fed owns the border, not the state Governor. Obama has rescinded the funding authorized by Bush to add additional border security.

The fact is, the kid’s of these people are here at no fault of their own. Mass deportation is simply and totally unrealistic, so they must be dealt with.

As a governor, this situation was dumped on Rick Perry. He has gone above and beyond his job role in catching and processing illegals and sent Obama the bill.

The fact that people crossed the border and have found work is not Rick Perry’s fault any more than the situation is Jan Brewer’s fault in Arizona. These people are here, some gave birth to children on US soil, others were dragged over the border by their parents.

Again, if you do not think it is fair for a child who attended 13 years of grade school to pay the same $22k/year to attend A&M University, just because their parents brought them here as infants illegally, than you should demand that whoever the republican front runner is make this same proclamation in the general election against Obama. Santorum and Romney have, but I guarantee you this - if either of these two bomb throwers ever becomes the nominee, their same words used to unfairly attack Perry in such a misleading way over this issue will be used by Obama against them in a much worse way.

I doubt many Freepers have been waiting for a presidential candidate who gives in state tuition to illegal aliens.

Ten states have laws allowing instate tuition for illegals. In TX it was passed by the state legislature with only 4 dissenting votes.

Perry couldn't have vetoed.

to create a system of bi-national socialized medicine

I think it was insurance. Forget the illegal immigrants who get treated. Are you aware of how much it costs Texans for medical treatment for Mexicans who just come for treatment? They fly in and go to the Medical Center in Houston! It has been going on for decades!

Yes, I would be happy to share some of the cost for that with Mexicans!!!!!

Don’t they need a transcript to show they went to school three years? And don’t colleges demand a transcript when you apply? I always needed one.

You may not be aware of this, but illegal immigration has been a problem for long before Obama was elected.

And those illegal aliens who are educated at our universities will never be able to legally work in the USA.

Face it. Rick Perry is an open borders socialist RINO who believes in open borders and wants to institute Bi National Socialized Medicine so that you can pay for the healthcare of people in Mexico and receive Mexican quality healthcare in the USA.

Cain is my second choice but this argument against Perry is bogus. The Texas Legislature had only 4 dissents on that particular piece of Legislation. It was unvetoable.

That said, the feds wont secure the border, Texans under Perry have spent 400 million to secure our border, I mean my and yours, the US Mexico border. It wasn't Santorums state or Mitts state, it was we Texans who have been paying out the nose to secure the US border.

There is a major problem here but as a legal immigrant, the law passed by the Texas Legislature actually said that if you (federal_reserve) are working toward your citizenship and have lived in Texas for 3 years graduating from a Texas high school, you will be considered a resident of Texas and will pay in state tuition.

Now many on FR would demand that you too, as a legal immigrant and working toward your citizenship and having lived in state and graduated from a Texas high school you should pay out of state tuition too. I don't agree, if you live here, pay taxes here and are on your way to becoming an American/Texan, you can pay instate tuition.

Romney sure pulled everyone into his little scheme.

That said it is up to Perry to articulate that or Cain will be the next best choice.

Other states do it so Texas may as well give in state tuition to illegal aliens?

And Perry did not only sign the bill, he bragged about signing the bill.

The law says three years in TX schools/diploma or a G.E.D. It was posted on a Perry thread yesterday. I don’t recall the name of the FReeper who posted it, but he highlighted the section in the law that said the G.E.D. could be substituted for a transcript. That’s all I can tell you, but I read it myself and I do recall what it said.

All these laws are the same. They put in the in-state requirement to appease opponents, and then slip ‘or the equivalent of a HS diploma’ in to accomplish the real intent of the law: to pander to illegals.

I didn't say that...you did!

Some of the biggest complainers about Texas' law live in states that have similar laws and probably don't know it!...which was my point.

Where do you live? Does your state have a similar law?
