You make it sound like Perry invited people in to attend college in Texas. That is not how it was. If the kid had been brought here as a child, attended Texas school, graduated highschool, and was applying for citizenship, they could have in state tuition.

In other words if they are here to stay he would rather have them educated.

Gee, how nice.

Residency trumps citizenship.

Perry would discriminate against citizens from other states in favor of illegal aliens who had already sucked tens of thousands out of the school system, local and federal, only by judicial fiat.

First off, its a violation of Equal Protection. And a violation of the 1996 immigration reform act. And a rejection of popular will - after all, it was the vote of the people in Tyler way back in 1982 that was overturned in Plyler v. Doe.

I called Perrys office the day he signed the bill and told his admin that Texas had just left the Union a second time.

Thats what it means to to turn your back on your own people, the people who paid to put a third rate college jock in the left seat of a C-130 and eventually propel him into a position of power.

Theres a word for that. Starts with a T.

I am surprised you bought that propaganda.

Current law allows any illegal immigrant who has a Texas high school diploma and has been a resident of the state for at least 3 years to pay the same tuition rate as full citizens. Beneficiaries also must sign an affidavit pledging to apply for legal status as soon as they are able.

Pure BS. Just another scam to reward illegal aliens.
