“Oh, I did not realize Romney supports the existing law and deportations of the 30 million illegals and their second generation children.”
Their second generation children are citizens under current doctrine. As for the rest of this particular strawman argument, please see my earlier post.
On a side note, the “moderate” policy of in-state tuition for illegals is opposed by 86 percent of the public. In Wisconsin.

As for defining conservatism, I really cannot see how those who are not actually willing to defend the basic concepts of citizenship and sovereignty can be said to be conservatives in any meaningful sense. Libertarians, perhaps. Conservative? Hardly.
to be educated to argue on the issue- this Dream Act applies to immigrant children who were brought here by their parents, not those who were born here, who are American by birth.
Lets just call them children of “noncitizen taxpayers”. Since the Dream Act require documentation the parents PAID STATE TAX.
Candidates like Perry should lay out the exact costs vs benefits to our society of giving college-qualified noncitizen taxpayer’s children community college at the same tuition as other taxpayer’s children, it might defuse a lot of the emotion. Nobody blinks at giving welfare citizens, who pay no taxes, the state tution rate.
have a great day- as one conservative to another.
as an aside, since the cost of resident tuition to noncitizen taxpayers is so upsetting and unfair to real conservatives
You are aware that the denizens of DC, noble citizens, are given state resident rates at any state university or college (not just community) they choose in the nation? right? unlike the DREAM act students and their families, DC citizens need not provide any proof or record of residing in that state, graduating from its school system, or paying its taxes.
Do 86% of the good taxpaying people of Wisconsin support that?
