It’s not special benefits. It’s the same tuition all Texas students pay.
Why do you people want to focus on an insignificant issue?
You can’t handle the truth????
THEY AREN'T CITIZENS. THEY AREN'T LEGAL RESIDENTS.
The reduced tuition is for meant for legal Texas residents.
Not only do we grant citizenship to their anchor babies but now the message for parents is go ahead and bring your previously born children here and we'll treat them just like citizens and give them cut-rate tuition like every legal Texan. If I, not being a Texas resident wanted to go to a Texas college I'd have to pay full price, if a guy who resides 1 mile across the border in Oklahoma wanted to go to a Texas college he'd have to pay full price. But an illegal alien get's a cut rate? You don't have a problem with that?
Illegal immigrant children shouldn't get free grade school let alone in-state tuition rates.
It's not these students fault that their parents chose to smuggle them over the border but that crime cannot be rewarded. We may as well build a giant neon "vacancy" sign right on the border.
Your Governor may not give a damn but many of us do. And you may think it's "no biggie" but I disagree. I'm no single issue voter but it a major issue of critical import.
Texas under Perry was the first state to pass this crap, back in 2001. In my option it's almost as bad as Romneycare and it provides a window into Rick Perry's mind on illegal immigration, he's not serious about stopping it.
