When Perry encourages illegals to stay, a Texas problem becomes an American Problem. SURP.

They are on their way to citizenship, born here, and graduated H.S. It is better that these students be given an opportunity to succeed then end up on public assistance.

It is not FREE tuition, BTW. It is the IN-STATE rate.

I thought they had to have started the process of obtaining their citizenship. Sounds like they're staying one way or the other.

I don't particularly agree with the in-state tuition but I do agree it's a state issue. They obviously consider these kids as residents of their state. They had to have lived there three years AND be in the process of becoming a citizen.

Not like they just jumped out of the back of a pickup.

It was always an American problem, a federal problem, that Texas and other states have been stuck with.

Feds let them in. Federal court says you have to give them benefits and free education. Feds don't deport. States are stuck with these people. These de-facto Texans, thanks to the Feds, are being treated like other Texans if they are trying to become citizens.
