The illegals who brought children into this country are one thing, but let’s not put their children in the same category. It was their parents who broke the law, not them. It is immoral to punish the children for the sins of the parent. To deny them instate college tuition rates when students from other states can qualify for instate rates after a one year residency is outrageous.
Since American citizens will be bumped from those seats...I'll remain the heartless bastard I was told I was by Ricardo Perry...so heartless he won't get a dime or a vote from me...
“To deny them instate college tuition rates when students from other states can qualify for instate rates after a one year residency is outrageous.”
You make it sound like we’re trying to starve them to death.
If you believe in this treasonous nonsense, what exactly are you doing here on Free Republic?
It is immoral to punish the children for the sins of the parent.
It would be even worse to not give a college education to the children of parents that didn’t bring their children here illegally. How about a free education to every child still in Mexico? Once the child turns 18 we can punish them for the crime of choosing to stay here illegally.
Does this go for students from other countries, but on valid visas?
It could have been treated quietly, by making the state law apply to persons physically living in Texas for a year, without some fooferaw about dreams for illegales or whatever euphemism is used for them. But no, it wasn’t. It’s hard to fan the smell of Hispandering out of this one.
There is no punishment here. They have been given a free high schools education, which ought to enable them to get by. In justice they must take their places behind legal residents and American citizens.
The conditions for illegal aliens are less rigorous than for OTHER AMERICANS.
BTW, you Texans can LOSE instate tuition for as little as failing to pay a nonreturned book fee at a public university or college.
