Texas is oppressed by illegal aliens because the Feds won’t act.
Texas made an almost unanimous decision to allow kids who were brought here to attend college at in state rates.
Texas had the right to do so.
Big deal.
Perry was not alone on supporting in-state college tuition for illegals. The entire legislators in Texas supported it with only 4 dissenting votes. I will defer to their judgement over mine since they know the issue far more than me.
Personally if I was the gov, I would have vetoed it every time. So I am giving lower grade on the immigration issue, also because he is against building a physical wall barrier.
On Garadasil issue, as responsible parents we opted to have our daughters vaccinated. Cervical cancer is far worse than any other possibility. But Perry admitted he should have done it through legislation instead of executive order. So this issue is a non-issue to me.
