El Rico es loco.
marking to find again to show illegals get ‘financial aid’ for college tuition in Texas.
What’s the point of college for illegals if we’re supposed to punish employers for hiring them? oh wait...Perry doesn’t believe in doing that, either
In a word - yes. It's not my fault, not my doing, and not my responsibility to pay for their education. Maybe if they sold their Escalade or their flat-screen they could pay for it themselves.
Hell yeah, that's exactly what needs to be done. In fact, when you find the little bastards trying to steal money from the American people, you arrest and deport them and their parents back to where they came from.
“Or are we going to have them in our institutions of higher learning, paying in state tuition, pursuing citizenship?”… “
Get your citizenship before you go to college. Because if you can’t pass a basic citizenship test you shouldn’t be thinking about college, even if you are a citizen.
I don't think that he will. There are many things about Perry to like, but this ain't one of them. Illegal immigration/ instate tuition/ sanctuary cities is his Howard Dean moment.
If this is improvement, I shudder to think what getting even worse would look like.
Is this guy braindead?
Quoting Perry on giving in-state tuition to illegals: “How else were they supposed to pay for it?”
Perry never heard that students get jobs to pay for tuition?
So struggling US citizens are expected to pay their own way but stipends to illegals who broke the law is Texas public policy.
Texans may overlook Perry’s air-headedness-—but grassroots conservatives outside of Texas don’t find him very amusing.
Perry better shut up before the true dimensions of his intellectual vacuity goes viral.
“Perry on in-state tuition for illegals: How else were they supposed to pay for it?”
How about you write a personal check to pay for it if you’re so bloody enamored with the idea.
What part of working for your education and paying for it does this dweeb not understand? I had to pay for it.. my daughter had to pay for hers and I have no problem with that. Go for a scholarship or two. There are scholarships that go wanting for applicants, believe me. If you are worthy you will receive it, but don’t quit your side job if you want to stay in school. Work for it. Work for it.... I am amazed why so many feel it should be GIVEN as a GIFT to those who have broken our laws.
Was this part of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (Title 8, Chapter 14, Sec. 1623(a)) repealed?
“Federal law passed in 1996 prohibits illegal aliens from receiving in-state tuition rates at public institutions of higher education. Specifically, Section 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (Title 8, Chapter 14, Sec. 1623(a)) states: “an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State (or a political subdivision) for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit (in no less an amount, duration, and scope) without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident.”
Attempted enrollment by an illegal alien is not an event that should trigger a subsidy. It is an event that should prompt a deportation.
In state tuition is not cheap in Nebraska just cheaper then out of state tuition. I think that foreign students ought to get a work permit and be allowed to work pay taxes and get instate tuition after one year of satisfactory performance. As far as the children of illegal give them in state tuition too. They were brought to the US and in most cases it would be cruel to return them to where they came from.
Stick a fork in Perry. It’s one thing to have a soft spot or to be weak on an important issue but this is ridiculous. Really, Cain becomes the only real alternative.
The balance, of course, is paid by honest, legal taxpayers. Where else does Perry think the money comes from? This guy is really beginning to scare me.
