If Texans wanted the illegals to get in state tuition, Perry was correct. Will of the voters.

I live in TX and was never asked or given a vote on what I wanted. Perry and the legislature decided what was "best" for the rest of us in the state.

You had your chance to vote for the legislators. They are the ones that passed the bill.

How did your elected representative vote on the issue?

[CA Conservative]

It's called a representative democracy, rather than direct democracy. You vote for representatives, who then cast votes in the Legislature on your behalf. Did you vote against your representative and state senator about this issue? If not, then you are being hypocritical by castigating Perry for it.

[Raider Sam]

You didnt vote for your state rep or senator?

[TornadoAlley3]

Vote them out of office or move.

Isn't that what you call 'representative republican' government as opposed to democracy?

When the legislature passes a law, it is done on behalf of the people, you and me, like it or not.
