Hispanics may get preferences at Texas state colleges, but its because of the liberal admissions offices who want more minority enrollment. This is true of any college, I would imagine.

If you oppose this with enough contempt to forever shun Rick Perry, I can respect your opinion. However, please understand that 12 other states have the same policy, including the border states of New Mexico and California. And, each student must compete with sufficient test scores to qualify for admission - there is nothing "automatic" based on skin color. Each student pays their tuition - nothing is "free" or given away to them.

But you miss, perhaps purposely, my point.

Those other states don’t give instate tuition to illegals. By combining instate tuition with preferences for being Hispanic, illegals are getting preferences over legal white applicants. Illegals therefore are being given preference over a whole class of legal students.

(Oh and BTW, those qualifying test scores would be set higher if they were applied equally to all students.)
