Do you believe the states and localities have the right to set up sanctuary states/cities to protect illegal aliens? What ever happened to equal protection and the supremacy clause?
Per your exaggerated emphasis on “GED”. Maybe in Virginia (likely not) you can get into the best colleges with a GED, its a mighty hill to climb here in Texas. Just more smoke you think will blind folks to the reality you oppose.
Sorry, but that is what the Texas Dream Act stipulates. This is the same kind of flim-flam that the advocates of a Federal Dream Act use. It is all about the children. If you read the actual law, it covers not only children, but any illegal who enters the state and meets the criteria, including adults. The law covers all state institutions of higher learning including community colleges.
What Texas has been doing, even “In-State Tuition” has been working and adding to our success while most other States are sharing the basement, proves we must be doing something right. That proof is in the pudding.
Working? Texas has the second highest number of illegal aliens. They cost the state close to $5 billion a year in just education, health care, and incarceration costs not to mention the thousands killed or injured by them. There is an active court case challenging the Texas in-state tuition law and initiatives in the legislature to repeal the law.
I bet if the law were put on the ballot as a referendum item, it would be defeated. In MD, one of the bluest of blue states, the Dem controlled legislature passed in-state tuition for illegals and it was signed by the governor. It was met with a firestorm of protest. A movement arose that gathered enough signatures, twice that was needed, in record time. The measure will be on the ballot and the law suspended until the results of the referendum. Like gay marriage, when it is put to the voters directly, it is always defeated.
Looky here “copy and paste”, in Texas there is nothing called Dream Act, that’s just a figment in Perry Derangement paulnutz imagination. This subject is just “today’s” talking point in some demented effort to tear down one candidate thinking it builds up another, whether or not you’re a paulnut does not prevent you from soundling like a paulnut.
What goes on in Maryland has zero to do with Texas.
TEXAS House Bill 1403 was not a Perry Bill, it was a TEXAS Bill.
The Texas Constitution set up the Governor to have significantly less power that the legislature. Texas Governors have less power than in most states. Even with less power, Perry has presided over building and maintaining the best economy in the entire USA. For us Texans we call that good.
I am betting millions of Texans will be happy to compare Texas, line by line, law for law, or fiscal balance sheets with ANY state, including Virginia. And millions of Texans will continue to prefer TEXAS over any other State, even with the illegals.
You have a different candidate you prefer, fine. But don’t try to tell me shi’te about Texas from your perch in Virginia.
