It's simple. They are Texas residents, going on three years. They are Texas high school graduates after educating them as required by Supreme Court decisions.

The Federal government hasn't done enough on immigration and the border control.

Texas has decided to treat them as Texans if they're getting legalized so they can work and add to the tax base instead of sucking the Texas social safety net dry.

It's a defensive policy because of federal failure. Only four members of the legislature opposed it. None opposed it when it was updated 4 years later. It tells you .

I don't support in-state tuition but I can see the position the states are put in by federal failure on the issue for decades. That failure is unAmerican, even treasonous.

Far from the pre-debate claim that it was rigged in Perry's favor, it was designed to help Romney. From the questions to the commentators, even the other candidates.

There is no reason to gang up on Perry. Perry is not ready for these debates. He badly needs to work on prep. When he's relaxed he's fine but he stumbles a lot. It's frustrating.

Of those I saw, his best answer was the VP question. It told me a lot about what he knows about his own limitations and what he respects in others.

Even in the post-debate with Hannity, I noticed Bachmann wasn't challenged and she along with Romney were asked about Perry so they could bash him again. Cain was asked about ObamaCare. Paul was asked about foreign policy.
