Let me get this straight.

You support granting in state tuition to illegal aliens however, you do not support amnesty?

So therefore, you want the Texas tax payers to pay to educate people who can never legally work in the United States.

That makes a whole lot of sense.

“Kids that have demonstrated that they want to excel and who can prove that they are working on citizenship...”

I see.

You support Amnesty for Illegal Aliens?

Facts are funny things and it appears to me you are letting your obvious anti-Perry bias over rule common sense. The author is spot on, due to a Supreme Court ruling Children born here are awarded citizenship by law, not by political expediency or intent to enable them to vote. It is called the Law and we have to change it or deal with it in other ways. Illegal parents are being separated from their children every day in this country and right fully so, the children are legally her but not the parents. IMHO the law needs to be changed back to what it was pre SC decision to only citizens children are given the right by birth, this is why so many women come to this country and have anchor babies today.

Perry did NOT create the problem but his logic is sound, the Children, love or hate the law are legal citizens and entitled to all the same rights as any other American. Each state is Sovereign and they can deal with it each in their own way, but the root of the issue is Federal in nature.

The obvious solution is to put someone in the White house whose INTENT is not to award citizenship across the board in a political ploy but to fix the real issues and let the citizens decide on what the path to becoming an American is and enforce it, again a FEDERAL responsibility.

Sarah never ran for Governor in a border state either.

Doesn’t change the fact that Perry and Palin’s position on border security and illegal immigration is the same.

I doubt very much that Sarah Palin supports amnesty, citizenship, welfare, or any other rewards for illegal immigrants.

Show me a transcript or video where Palin wants in-state tuition for illegals... and where she says those who don't agree are heartless...

Clever of you to ignore the logic.

Children need not suffer from their parents illegal actions, but neither should they benefit. Letting the kids keep the banks money is eerily similar to letting the illegals benefit at tax payer expense.

“Doesn’t change the fact that Perry and Palin’s position on border security and illegal immigration is the same.”

Do illegal aliens in Alaska pay in state tuition?

This author sure is putting a lot of lipstick on that pig.

He's also pushing the "it's all about Romney and Perry now" meme. Did you notice that?

Rick Perry is solidly AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

You can try to misconstrue things with pictures and people can get their panties in a twist over this tuition bill that passed the legislature almost unanimously, but the fact remains.

Perry is solidly against illegal immigration.
The guy has had to actually touch these matters as a Governor of a border state.
That doesn’t make him an illegal lover.
It makes him experienced, unlike 99% of his yapping dog detractors.

What part of “prove that they are working on citizenship” is amnesty?

Last thing we need is another empty suit RINO as our nominee. Haven't we learned our lesson with McCain, Dole, etc?

How will Rick Perry advance the conservative cause? Will Rick Perry's coattails result in taking control of the senate and building a super-majority in the house?

The answer is no. A President Perry will only mark time, like George W. Bush, and set the state for another liberal/socialist victory in four years time.

We need a real conservative as our nominee. One who will be elected in a landslide and have the necessary coattails to gain control of the Senate and build a much larger majority in the House.

Rick Perry and Mitt Romney will not do that. They are both very liberal and will result in a mixed Congress that will ensure there is no forward motion with respect to conservatism.
