What gets me is that Perry has held his stance on in-state tuition for undocumented children since 2001.

Now they come after him?

Seems to me my Governor sticks by his guns on most issues and doesn’t waver. When the public tells him he’s absolutley wrong on a subject, he backs down.

I find that pretty damn refreshing.

From what I read, the fact that the children of illegal immigrants born in this country are awarded citizenship complicates the issue. How many of these children of illegal immigrants, who got in state tuition rates, were born here and thus are citizens according to federal law? One can still argue with the policy, but it is not as cut and dry as has been presented. Perry needs to do a better job of clearing up such confusion over this issue.

He wasn’t on the national scene then. I live in OR, believe me, my state in NO way represents the views of the country on illegals. It’s up to Texans to decide what’s right for their state. It may not play well on the national scene. I admire him sticking to his guns, I just don’t care to be called “heartless” for sticking to mine. That was a huge faux pas for me. And I’d also like the understand why, during the election he promised his state if they reelected him he would not run for president and then turned around and did it. Palin has given her reason for quitting. People may not buy and and may still think it was wrong and harmed her chances but at least she gave it.
