100% agree.
I’d love to see, for example, a Rick Santorum, who as a Catholic claims obedience to his Church, propose that the children of illegals, whether born here or not, be mass deported.
Or Romney, who knows nothing about governing a border state like Texas, tell the children of illegals, or even children dragged across the border by their illegal parents that at they must pay Baylor University rates to attend a 4 year public university. This after spending years in our public schools and making the grades to pursue college.
I dare any one of them to look these people in the eye, on camera, during the next debate, and tell this community....”Thanks for your parents hard work and allowing the rest of us to enjoy a very affordable roof job, frame job on my new house, cheap mfg labor rates, and all the other great benefits we enjoy off of your parents backs, but guess what, now that you want to pay $20k a year to go to A&M, tough crap. You, little Miss daughter of an undocumented construction worker, now that we used you and your family, you get to pay $42k per year to go to A&M.
I dare any one of these other hypocrits to look America in the eye and make the above comment.
Rick Perry sent Obama a $300,000,000 invoice for services rendered by and paid for by Texas citizens to do the job that this jackass in the White Wouse did not do. Santorum and Romney are only helping the Obama campaign with these over the top attacks on Perry and making republicans look anti-hispanic jerks.
“”Thanks for your parents hard work and allowing the rest of us to enjoy a very affordable roof job, frame job on my new house, cheap mfg labor rates...”
If they are illegal, they cannot work here as a roofer with or without a college education.
So, why should we provide college educations to those who will never be able to work legally in the US?
Amen.
Gee, what an outrage! That's the EXACT same rate I would have to pay to go to Texas A&M university, seeing as I'm a resident of Illinois and thus don't have access to "in-state tuition rates" like Rick Perry gives to ILLEGAL foriegners who have no right to live in MY country.
I dare you to look your fellow AMERICANS straight in the eye and tell the thousands of hard-working AMERICAN colleges students busting their @$$ and working mulitple jobs to pay their tutition..."tough luck, you can't have access to the tuition rates that Texas gives to foriegn criminals. We don't care how hard your AMERICAN parents worked to put you thru school. We don't care if live two miles across the Texas border and have lived in the region you want to attend college all your life. We don't care if went to H.S. in Texas or grew up in Texas. We don't care that your family lost their job during the recession. We don't care that you don't have access to those "minority" scholarships we reward to "underpriveldged hispanic minorities" solely on the basis of someone having a spanish-sounding last name. Here in Texas, we care more about 'afforable education' for foriengers that sneak into our country than our fellow Americans".
As for me, little miss daughter of an "undocumented" construction worker can go pound sand when so many TAXPAYING AMERICAN CITIZENS are struggling to get a quality college education, and I'd be glad to tell her that to her face. If she's such a bright gifted "straight A" student she could readily get accepted at a college or university in the nation she was born in. In fact, they NEED more people with college educations in those countries, that's one of the reason they're failing economically.
Hey motoman, since this is such a great idea, how about you start lobbying the Mexican government to give "in-state tuition rates" to americans who enter Mexico ILLEGALLY? Funny how we're the ONLY country stupid enough to enact this "great idea", isn't it?
