The social engineering that the Federal government has installed, as well as their give away programs combined with their rules about not asking a student’s residency information, which is further complicated and exacerbated by not enforcing laws or sealing the 1250 border Texas shares with Texas, are not the fault of our border state governor (now our longest serving gov. because of his position on the issues).
If anyone will finally address the illegal immigration and social engineering draws, it will be Gov. Perry. None of the other candidates will. Perry is against amnesty and has repeatedly called for the border to be sealed. We here in Texas are spending hundreds of millions of OUR state budget to defend and protect the rest of the country — as well as we can — while Obama-Holder buy weapons for the Drug-human trafficking cartels in Mexico.
That special in-state privilige is reserved for illegals, no American citizens from other states can receive it.
And where I can read the policy papers and position statements Gov Perry has made in this campaign that back up this claim?
Glad you like Perry. Your feelings about him, however, are not facts.
So show us the Perry plans.
Stop with this Cult-of-Personality "He's a great guy" Obama style campaigning and actually tell us Perry's plans
None of that legally forces Texas to charge in-state tuition to the children of illegals.
Amen.
Unlike the other candidates, Perry is the only one who has been forced to deal with the border as a governor.
By the way, all of these children who were dragged across the border by their parents have SS numbers issued to them by the federal government. That’s all they need to even apply to college.
Perry did not invite them to sneak across, he simply ended up getting stuck with them after the fed failed to do their basic job of securing our borders.
Can you imagine the republican nominee having to go on record as either forcing out of state tuition, or even denying a public education to these “residents”, who all have SS cards, and whose parents built our homes, fixed out roofs, picked our crops,...etc.
I fully agree that this whole issue stinks, but Obama would not love nothing better than to batter whoever the nominee is over the head with their anti-”latino”, pro-mass-deportation, border wall position.
I’m not latino, but one thing is for certain. The latino voting block will be a very, very, powerful force in this election. And Rick Perry’s position, albiet a controversial and debatable stance, is the only one that can neuter Obama - tough on border security, but humane on the children of illegals who the fed dumped onto him.
Perry has LIVED the border! Cain hasn’t.
I lost respect for Cain when he pulled the race card on Perry..
