So what? It's not costing a taxpayer a cent to give them in-state tuition. It's likely resulting in higher enrollment and more profit to the colleges and universities. And, in-state tuition for their children is not the reason illegals come to the nation.
It's a meaningless issue and the legislation would have been adopted over any veto by Perry anyway.
BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE STATE They should not get to go to school at all unless the tuition is paid for by their home country and they obtain a student visa. Where do you think they get the money? From you and me and all the taxpayers. They up the demand for money and it then costs more.
You are debating the issue in fragments. You must be a politician in training.
IN ADDITION, IF THERE IS GOING TO BE IN-STATE TUITION GIVEN TO ANYONE, IT SHOULD BE TO THE LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE OTHER 49 STATES. FURTHER, MOST OF THE ILLEGALS GET SCHOOL BASED HELP WHICH ALSO SHOULD GO TO LEGAL RESIDENTS.
