Free housing will soon be available for DREAMers—illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children—attending the University of Texas-Pan American (UTPA).
The Dream Homes initiative, the latest project by nonprofit organization Sand2Pearl, will provide rent-free housing to undocumented UTPA students in South Texas. The home, located within walking distance to UTPA’s campus, will open in August and house seven undocumented students during the 2015-2016 academic year.
“The number of Dreamers who will benefit in August will be seven, but the students who will ultimately benefit will be countless," Sarah Chavez, executive director of Sand2Pearl, told NBC News.
Chavez and her friend Patricia Estrada announced their plan to open the “Dream Home” at a community meeting in early March where they discussed the initiative with the public and encouraged interested students to apply. According to Chavez and Estrada, both former UTPA students who worked together on Wendy Davis’ Democratic gubernatorial campaign, there are roughly 800 undocumented students currently enrolled at UTPA.

this is gonna cause tensions with Black students who aren’t given free student housing.
The Latino Dreamers vs the Blacks who were descendents of slaves...conflict waiting to happen.
Glad somebody gets it. Whether or not there is actual conflict that can be observed, it is monumentally unfair.
Black families have been here as long as the Lowells and the Cabots. It’s just that they’re black.
FREE AUDIT OF YOUR KEY HR PRACTICES
Hiring Practices – are your recruiting practices effective? Are you hiring the right people? Are your I-9 and E-Verify practices legal? Are you avoiding discriminatory hiring practices?
Since they offer free audits, I guess they could start by auditing themselves?
I’ve posted this before but we lived in Texas for many years - owned a business, then moved to PA for 6 years. Our daughter wanted to return to Texas for college and of course, we had to pay out of state tuition for the entire first year...while illegals got to pay instate rates(if they paid at all!)
That’s not what a DREAMER told me on Twitter. So you would have had to get “resident” status thus waiting a year right? What many do not realize is that they also are led into another stream not where citizen students are funneled and get GRANT MONEY for college (like as much as 6K).
really but then- they would be mandated to vote per Islamocommie’s latest musings...
Arabs still enslave Africans; Obama is part Arab.
I thought illegals had to live in Texas for three years before getting in-state tuition rates. Still unfair, and maybe that has changed since the 2012 campaigns.
Well, isn’t that special. At least it’s not using my tax dollars, but I’m sure they’ll find grant money or somehow steal my taxes. Oh, wait, they already are by being here. All these illegals taking away a college slot from a US citizen is disgusting. When our kids were looking into colleges, nearly every one listed a wink-wink to non-citizens/illegals in their departments’ descriptions such as a second language, internships along the border, or blatantly stating they turn a blind eye to legal status.
Sorry to take so long to reply - yes, we purchased a home when we moved back to Texas and after a full year, we had to show proof that we had been living in Texas that entire time period in order to now be “citizens” and qualify for in state tuition rates.
My wording might have caused your question - I believe the in state rates for illegals to attend college was based on children who had gone to Texas public schools for several (possibly at least three as you mentioned) years - not someone who had just illegally entered to attend college. Did that make sense?
RICK ADRESSES BLOOD-THIRSTY LA RAZA
Subversive Texas Textbooks---distributed nationwide--- vilify conservative groups;
Breitbart Texas | 09/10/2014 | Merrill Hope / FR Posted by Rusty0604
In 2006, uber-liberal "Texas Rising" stated its mission: "developing an emerging generation of social justice-minded, informed and engaged leaders is essential to the long-term health of our communities and the development of progressive public policy in Texas."
...a sneak peak at the preliminary Social Studies textbook found including distortions, omissions and half-truths all passing for accurate high school US history...
And there's this gem: "The radical right consists of groups that sometimes gather under the flag of militant anticommunism. Often known as reactionaries, they denounce most forms of government regulation, including progressive taxation and restrictions and industry.Examples of political groups on the radical right are the John Birch Society, the National States & Rights party, The Christian Crusade, and the Tea Party movement."

=============================================
THIRD WORLD INFILTRATION College Board exams changed history answers... revisionist historians developed different answers to the question of what America’s story is about. From their perspective, at the heart of our country’s history—like the history of any other powerful nation—lies the pursuit of empire, of dominion over others. At its core, say the revisionists, America’s history is about our capacity for self-delusion, our endless attempts to justify raw power grabs with pretty fairy-tales about democracy. ....
NOTE WELL: This terrifying Third World revisionism is straight out of Third World textbooks---emphasizing the T/W effort to undermine US ntl security for the coming armed takeover.
The conniving T/W uses an ancient formula going back to Greco-Roman times---where savages, barbarians and thieves overrun a bountiful country lusting after its power and riches.
REFERENCE--- Some 10 years back, Texas schools started used Mexican textbooks for their backward illiterate Spanish-speaking students. Texas textbooks advocated the Mexican perspective including:
<><> anti-white, anti-capitalist anti-USA viewpoints;
<><> Mexican textbooks falsified US history,
<><> proselytized blood-thirsty La Raza savagery;
<><> using teaching as brainwashing;
<><> inculcating violent separatist, latino supremacy idealogy.
But struuggling taxpayers are footing the bills.
And let's not forget tax-paying Texans DID NOT KNOW their taxes were providing in-state tuition to border-jumpers.
Texans found out when 2012 presidential wannabe Rick scowlingly told debate auduences we were "heartless" for opposing it.
Rick should wonder no more he could not get reelected in Texas...and why his presidential chances are zero, zilch, nada.
PROBABLY ONE OF THE HOMES GOUGED OFF THE BACKS OF STRUGGLING US TAXPAYERS
BY CONNIVING LATINOS USING DOCUMENTED ILLEGAL SCHEMES?
A 2009 Wall Street Journal investigative report WRT the subprime mortgage borrowing spree that wreaked havoc on the US economy revealed that----according to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council---financial schemes by low-income housing groups, Hispanic lawmakers on Capitol Hill, including a congressional Hispanic housing initiative, subprime mortgage lenders and brokers, colluded together in fraudulent schemes to increase homeownership among Latinos using falsified applications, and other tricks of the trade.
The massive mortgage fraud ended in disaster for which no one has been held responsible. Taxpayers got saddled with billions of dollars in bailout bills.
These subprime activities were not simply the mortgage market at work. They were fueled by avarice, greed, stupidity--all enabled by Congressmen and other groups which leave a trail at the door of then-Cong Joe Baca (D-Cali).
Between 2000 and 2009, Hispanic populations increased; but Hispanic home ownership grew even faster, increasing by 47%, to 6.1 million from 4.1 million, according to the US Census Bureau. Over that same period, homeownership nationally grew by an enemic 8%. In 2005 alone, mortgages to Hispanics jumped by 29%; Latinos with multiple fraudulent identities in low-paying jobs obtained costly non-prime mortgages---soaring to a shocking 169%, (Research provided by Wall Street Journal)
The subprime mortgage bank fraud network was spearheaded by then-Cong Joe Baca (D-Calif 43rd), in his powerful position as chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Baca's district ranks No.5 among all US Congressional districts in percentage of home loans tailored to sub-prime borrowers.
Baca used his the legislative power of his office and his leadership position in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to calculatedly launch a housing initiative called "HOGAR"-- Spanish for home. conspiract and colluison the Congressuial Hispanic caucuss has been quiet about his role in financing, and, earmarking the blood-thirsty America-hating La Raza. race-based "La Raza" was given tax dollars and Congressionsl earmarks to finance its so-valled mortgage activities. La Raza's "strategic partnerships” with Wachovia and Bank of America forced the frgradayiio pg mortgage-application requirements and documentation standards.......whuch caused tac[aurts ro br siked w. billions bailputs and secimating the YS evinimy.\.
La Raza aided and abetted risky federal and private-home loans to latinos over the last decade. thanks to the lending industry’s version of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”
In addition to millions of federal tax dollars, La Raza also collected a $1 million Democratic earmark that funded “community-development” projects. Analysts report that much of it went to "mortgage counseling."
Yes. I wasn’t aware of the “attending Texas public schools” criterion, but that would make sense, since they probably would have no other verifiable documentation.
It is my understanding the premise behind allowing them to pay in state tuition was due to them being brought here as children with no ability to do it “right” and attending Texas schools for years. The thinking was these kids would have a better life than their parents due to education but with illegals as parents they couldn’t afford college at out of state rates
Yep. Just as I thought. There is an IRCOT lawsuit in TX to overthrow GRANT funding for TX DREAMERS. Much needed.
How sweet
