Texans should really consider replacing their AG for saying such a silly thing.
Illegals are by definition not legal residents of any state, and even if someone believes that such persons should be allowed to attend a college or university in a given state, there's no way they should be granted in-state tuition because their illegal status prevents them from being legal residents of any state.
Greg wants to be Gov someday. And as such he is riding the fence. I’ve always thought he was a sharp guy, but statements like this catch my attention in a negative way.
How so? Sounds like a pretty accurate, wise assessment.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said in an opinion Friday that there's not enough legal precedent to answer the question with certainty...."Given the paucity of judicial precedent, [and an activist judiciary,] we cannot predict with certainty that a court would so find."
Emphasis and commentary added!
Sometimes the job of a presecutor is to not bring cases that would set unwanted precedent.
If the courts were likely to rule on the law, and common sense, then it might be less problematic!
