Texas Gov. Rick Perry is a radical who encourages illegal immigration.
Really?
That incendiary line of attack in the free-for-all among Republican presidential hopefuls begs for a deep breath and a dose of rational reflection.
Since 2001, Texas has allowed students to qualify for in-state college tuition if they've lived in the state for three years leading to high school graduation, completed their studies for a diploma or a GED, and enrolled at a public higher education institution.
Citizens, legal residents and other immigrants can get lower rates under the law. Students who meet the criteria but aren't U.S. citizens yet must file a statement that they intend to seek legal status.
The policy, which won widespread support in the Legislature before getting Perry's signature, has moral, practical and financial dimensions.
Support has come from the influential Texas Association of Business and chambers of commerce, as well as educators, the Texas Catholic Conference and civil libertarians.
In 2009, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott upheld the law. This summer, the U.S. Supreme Court also rejected a challenge to a similar law in California.

Instate tuition and/or other entitlements for ILLEGAL aliens are a favorite of liberals nationwide. But we're supposed to believe RINO-Rick is a real conservative even though he subscribes to the same liberal philosophy? I don't think so.
A good portion of the US Military has Texas as their resident state...we’d have so much US Military willing to be part of the Republic of Texas...I can guarantee you...no border crossings would take place. Being a Republic we could shoot the wetbacks if they crossed the Rio Grande without blinking an eye.
The feds wont send them back and the States cannot do so. Now what do you do?
What a cute little fella...

Nope, they’d be still waiting for the Federal govt to do it for them!
I’m sure you’ve been called a lot worse than
“heartless.” Why don’t you just suck it up and get over it, bless your heart.
That’s not a particularly good photoshop; can’t you do any better?
Ya but watching Perry's groupie girls dance around this, is bizarre at best and funny but only in an insane way.
The irony is under current immigration law if people here illegally wish to become citizens they MUST return to their country first... So if the students do seek legal status they will not be here to attend school.
I should add another:
4. Not allowing local police to ask people who are otherwise lawfully detained whether they are in the United States illegally.
Brewer tried to implement this in Arizona and the Feds have sued them. Perry says it’s not “right” for Texas.
I just don’t get this, I’ve listed to the defenses for it, and I just don’t get it.
Did Christi tell them he would like to take their guns?

I remember suffering through the smitten Mittens in 2008. Now we have the perennial Perrywinkles
That's a two-way street!
Be interesting to know how many illegals pursuing higher education will major in Hispanic/Ethnic Studies to become the next crop of street marching recoquista radicals?
