Texas under liberal, open borders Perry, was the first in the nation to pass in-state tuition for illegals.

If you do not put that in context..It is VERY misleading.
"President Fox’s vision for an open border is a vision I embrace, as long as we demonstrate the will to address the obstacles to it.

An open border means poverty has given way to opportunity, and Mexico’s citizens do not feel compelled to cross the border to find that opportunity.
It means we have addressed pollution concerns, made substantial progress in stopping the spread of disease,
and rid our crossings of illicit drug smuggling activity.

Clearly we have a long way to go in addressing those issues."

You forgot to include one element in your comment, which I will highlight in bold: Texas under liberal, open borders Perry and the citizens of Texas, was the first in the nation to pass in-state tuition for illegals.

Do you think the citizens of Texas passed the bill for no good reason? The problem, my friend, is not because of the citizens of Texas. It is the problem of the federal government. It is the federal government's failure to control the border. It is the responsibility of the Obama Regime to seal that border; not the citizens of the state of Texas. The citizens of Texas can only deal with the results of the federal government's irresponsibility the best they can. Of course, it is no skin off your hide that the Obama Regime has failed the people of Texas. The only thing you want to do is blame Governor Rick Perry for something he has not caused.
