"Please no more government subsidies for illegals.

There are no "subsidies" involved here. It is a matter of in state tuition rates.

As a matter of trivia, my state limits the acceptance of in state students in the state colleges while increasing the out of state enrollments. This increases the tuition revenues, which makes money for the state colleges. Does that seem fair?

Likewise, it does not seem fair to deny in state tuition rates to children of illegals who were residents far longer than students who were residents for one year and could then qualify for in state tuition rates. Does that seem fair to you? That's why the Texas legislature passed the bill to give children of illegals the opportunity for in state tuition rates if they met the qualifications. It was passed by a huge majority. It was not only Governor Rick Perry's bill. It was the citizens of Texas that passed that bill--citizens that seem to know the value of fairness; which is something that politics has clouded many on the FR's thinking to know.

Yes. There’s a difference between a legal citizen and someone who is not. If you don’t do your part then you shouldn’t get any breaks.

How hard is it for you to comprehend that tons of taxpayer dollars subsidise higher education in the USA?

And let us all just completely ignore the 100% taxpayer subsidized K-12 compulsory education system.

Federal law already establishes that illegal aliens do not become residents of states.

Regarding instate tuition rates, they are ALL subsidized by the taxpayers!
