Here is the court case against in-state tuition in Texas, Immigration Reform Coalition of Texas v. State of Texas (University of Houston) Please take a look at it.

Bills were introduced in the Texas legislature this year to repeal the law.

I’ll check it out. This is all just nibbling at the edges, though. Without a strong Congress, we are just re-arranging the deck chairs. States are stuck with illegals, and they have to find something to do with them.

That case states 8,000 illegals in the program, but in the GOP debate tonight they were saying something like 14K.

I am not sure if the lawsuit's number includes students who have filed an I-130 (application for permanent resident). Most of those students should eventually become legal residents, if they don't have a problem in their records. (I believe that you think the family based immigration quotas are too high. I agree.)

I also don't know what percent of the Dream Act people have not filed for legal status (one would think because they would not qualify for legal status, i. e. they are illegal and will stay that way unless they get amnesty). The peculiar thing about this is that Texas Dream Act does not require them to apply for legal status before the can get in state tuition; all they have to do is sign a paper stating that they will apply for legal status at some unspecified future date. For those Dream Act students who cannot file for legal status, how can they get a job after they graduate?
