Excellent point and then add to it the typical Chamber crowd argument that roofing in the hot sun, brick-laying,dish-washers,etc will not be done by the Americans so if we follow Perry’s idea of providing instate tuition plus grant monies who the h*ll will they have to do these jobs if EVERYBODY IS DESERVING OF A COLLEGE EDUCATION? We need to rethink this silly mantra in this country and get Americans back to work with a fair wage for manuel skill sets.
As Cain has said. We already have a path to citizenship. It's called legal immigration.
But...everybody IS deserving of protection from ILLEGALS, DRUG GANGS, MURDERERS, THIEVES, AND TERRORISTS COMING ACROSS OUR BORDERS TRYING TO KILL US!
The underling and unspoken assumption to to Perry's "educate the illegals" line of thought is that he considers those who did not graduate from collage to be uneducated and a burden on society.
Collage education is not a necessity to have prosperous life/carrier.
