Nobody is suggesting that state governments stop subsidizing higher education (they should, but that isn't on the table). That is a function governments are going to continue performing and having them exclude illegal aliens (about 1% of the Texas student population) from the benefit of some of the subsidies (not all, even the out of state tuition is subsidized) would have an infinitesimal impact on the size and scope of government. You are all hot and bothered about the smallest of small potatoes.

Typical of an elitist RINO, you miss the larger point. Perry has shown where HIS heart is (and you have also in turn) - basically condemning those who raise the salient issue that we should not be giving ANY incentives to illegals. Because we have seen that if you reward bad behavior, you get more of it. And if Perry wants to use tax dollars to pander to Hispanics in this particular instance, what intellectually is going to stop him from other pandering when it suits him politically?

Yeah, tuition for illegals is small potatoes fiscally. But it shrieks volumes about Perry's mindset - and yours. It shrieks that your collective mindset blows chunks in a day and age when we need to shrink government and provide disincentives towards illegals. We need someone as the GOP candidate who will alter the status quo, not hijack it for their own advantage. So stuff your lame condescension. We know exactly what we are looking for, and it ain't your RINO droppings.
