Texas allows the children of undocumented immigrants to attend state colleges and universities at the in-state rate — a lower tuition rate than that paid by out-of-state and documented foreign students. Asked if illegal and undocumented immigrants should be treated as in-state students, 77 percent say no (67 percent strongly approve of ending that deal) and only 17 percent say it should continue...
More than half (58 percent) say they would support an end to bilingual education in Texas public schools. Attempts to put an "English-only" amendment into the Texas Constitution have failed for years, getting bogged down in the Legislature before ever being put to a public vote, but 68 percent of the registered voters in the UT/Tribune poll favor the idea — 56 percent of them strongly.

Are you calling Cain a liar?
He supported Romney in 2008 and made the VP comment recently.
Now, to be fair, Perry and his fans yap alot about “States Rights!!!” They never talk about the right of individual citizens. In fact, they seem to ignore that part of the 10th amendment. Hmmm.
WELL, after Duncan Hunter dropped out and it was really HIM or that idiot McCain, I voted for Romney. And I don’t want to be vice-president!
That was THEN and this is NOW.
My first choice would be Bachmann or Cain. Neither one has the illegal alien issue around their necks. Not a big issue with me at present, but apparently a hair trigger one with MANY Americans. Bachmann has disappeared. My Second Choice WOULD have been Perry, but he did so poorly in the debates so far, that that makes me think Romney is the only viable alternative after Cain - ONCE AGAIN. If he gets it, it will be a nonimation by default and the GOP Establishment RINOs will have succeeded in forcing another choice between Obama and a RINO.
So what’s YOUR solution?
>> What do you think is a “fair” hourly wage to entice people with no work skills to take a job? <<
Whatever the local job market will support. YOU’RE the one looking for a government program to supply you with an artificial, imported labor force.
But seriously, with 20 million unemployed Americans, do you really think that there’s no-one out there whose labor would be worth $42 a day, no benefits? You’re sounding more and more like a Chinese slave-driver.
Don't expect a "thank you" note for supporting them because they don't appreciate what you are helping to pay for. They are entitled...
You are not any smarter than they are!
You’re point might have been reasonable when the unemployment rate was 4%. With 60 million unemployed people, the vast majority of whom were working when there were jobs to be had, your assertion that all the jobless are lazy welfare frauds is outrageous, hateful and bigoted.
But let’s imagine you were actually right. Do you import millions more unskilled workers to solve that problem? No, you get business owners to demand a change in the welfare policies.
But you know what else? Even unskilled laborers deserve more than $34 a day. If you can’t even acknowledge that, you’re one hell of a sick freak.
What’s lame about “fair wages” and “living wages” is the notion that some bureaucrat can decide what’s fair. The market decides. But if you game the market by importing workers, that’s not free enterprise; that’s tyranny.
You know that is not what I said.
My assertion is: 99% of welfare recipients are lazy welfare frauds and you can't give them a job because they are dependents of the government...and are happy that way.
BTW, as you know, after Katrina they went to the Sugar Dome and expected to be taken care of. Then, they went to TX and other states to be taken care of.
Meanwhile, back in NOLA, illegal immigrants moved in to do construction jobs!
