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.

This is the same sleight of hand Perry tried to use in the debate that got him in trouble.......equating illegals’ opportunity to go to school in Texas with some sort of "moral imperative" that compels taxpayers to subsidize their education. (His wife, campaigning in Iowa, framed the choice as between tuition subsidies or welfare.)

Somehow, the impoverished US citizen from Mississippi is expected to pay his own way in Austin but the illegal who’s lived in Texas for three years gets a stipend from the locals.

And not just in terms of lower tuition rates; apparently illegals qualify for financial aid too.

It must be awfully confusing for Perry, as a vocal champion of state sovereignty, to find that prioritizing state residency over national citizenship doesn’t play well with grassroots conservatives outside of Texas......but he’d better find clarity soon.

===============================================

A native born American residing in Texas committed no crimes, is here legally, pays taxes AND pays more to attend the same school as the ILLEGAL ALIEN?--------If ILLEGAL ALIENS are not here with the permission of the Federal government, they should get no benefits and be deported swiftly. Mexico doesn’t educate those in their country illegally.......they are jailed and deported.

(Snort) Illegals know more about US govt giveaways than we do. Wadda ya think they got in those backpacks.....all the info needed to ride the US gravy train.

DOES RICKY KNOW WHICH IDENTITY WILL BE GETTING IN-STATE TUITION? Illegals have been willing to use forged documents and to falsify official applications (a felony). The MO is to falsify to get taxpayers to subsidize college for their kids.

REFERENCE Texas Law Offers Financial Aid and In-State Tuition to The Undocumented. Illegals get student loans to pay for college tuition via the federal government under Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Anyone can apply.......as many times as possible (using forged Social Security numbers and other fake documents. No word on illegals' loan default rate. Gov Ricky won't tell, that's for sure.)

Apparently, TX doesn’t require US citizenship to achieve state residency. Then the tuition debate boils down to a legal residency debate........a non-US resident should not be able to obtain state citizenship anywhere until they are a legal US citizen. Subsidized in-state college tuition should require legal citizenship of both the Nation and the state because the fed/govt subsidizes the tuition....... this is in every tax-paying citizen’s interest.

Perry is a globalist politician and we can expect nothing from him except the same laimbrained responses he has given thus far. I’m really beginning to believe the guy isn’t very smart as some might believe he is....and might be why he has been doing so badly in the debates. He simply doesn’t have the “it” on his feet, which certainly a President needs to have.

It would seem a good excuse for Perry not being very smart would be to say he doesn’t do debates well...which is what many are using to justify his poor responses. Could be he just isn’t very smart.

*** Is this guy brain-dead? ***

YES. This proves it.

That is, undoubtedly, the MOST STOO-PID answer I have ever, EVER, heard on illegals and college tuition freebies.

Really. Even the RATS who control my 'wunnerful Ill-ear-noise' didn't say something that DUMB when they shoved in state tuitionfor illegals down our throats. And if an IL river-RAT politician couldn't think of something that ASININE to say, you know it's really, really, fricken dumb!

Honestly, this guy should just go away. He's an embarrassment to himself, republicans, and .. the human race.
(I think my 4 y.o. Yellow Lab has a higher IQ than Perry, and I'm series. Perry makes Biden look like Einstein)

Yep, the more Perry talks about immigration, the deeper he keeps digging his own hole.

Keep talking, keep digging, Ricardo - vaya con Shamnesty!

I just thought of something else.....
On July 5th we saw some old friends (at a wake, yuck) and we talked about our 'kids'. Well their daughter just got her Law Degree and lo-and-behold she didn't go to Law School here in IL, but at a Law School in California -- so she had to pay OUT OF STATE TUITION.

Naturally it was a ton of money and our friends could not help and their daughter had/has to pay it all herself. She did this by getting another Student Loan - on top of her existing loan for her BA Degree - and WORKING A PART TIME JOB (wow, what a radical idea).

She hasn't taken a Bar Exam yet as she's not sure where she wants to practice law. But those Student Loan Invoices aren't waiting and she's paying them again - BY WORKING!

Therefore, Perry is full of 'Bullfeces'. If an American girl can manage this, in the Illegal Friendly State Of Texas, a Juan or Maria should not have any problem doing the same dam thing when it comes to paying out of state tuition for college!

So yes. Perry has to be Brain Dead. Or .. he's just a MORON!
