So, if illegal families are being drawn to Texas, it’s for 3 years prior to college, they graduate and stay out of trouble with the law.
As I posted, OK all the pro-TX education of “undocumented” students posters have clarified that the students are “only” getting their out-of-state tuition waived. Great. Glad there are some criteria such as 3 years residency, stay out of trouble, etc. altho someone else posted that granting preferences is illegal under a Federal 1996 Immigration Bill..... So it is illegal, but then they are illegal. Ah the rule of law, no one cares.
Don’t forget that all students are competing for loans, scholarships, grants, jobs, etc.
I am concerned that Perry did not say something to effect that tho the TX Legislature voted for this, he would handle differently on national scale...
I’ve written before about the Mosaic law that declared a person responsible if he digs a hole and someone or some animal falls into it.
Although the Feds dug this particular hole by Plyver vs. Tyler in the courts and refusal to deport by ICE and the Department of Justice, we Texans live with the consequences.
These kids are not noticed through graduation from high school, the Feds force us to educate them, give them free breakfast and lunch, provide medical care in some cases, and then, suddenly, they become illegal.
It’s better to not let them in in the first place. That’s why the Governor has focused so hard on border control.
Forgot to add that they are competing for seats in classroom too...my daughter was wait-listed for 2 classes this fall-—she got in neither....which were required for her major and will necessitate her going an extra semester at her/my expense...
