” Once these kids (who were sneaked in as youngsters, not born in the USA) have their sheepskins, then folks are going to start crying how it’s so heartless not to let them get citizenship in the USA ..”

Don’t they have to already be pursuing US citizenship in order to be allowed to pay in state tuition ?

The reality is that we’ve got a whole slew of illegals here now.

This problem should have been taken seriously years ago and it wasn’t.

One thing I would be stern about is deporting any illegal committing a crime, even a small one.

You don’t need to encourage people to come here, they are desperate to do so.

This little effort that is so despised doesn’t encourage people to come here.

You need to figure out a way to keep them out from now on.

Then we can deal with those already here, but you don’t know how and neither do I.

The feds did not tell him to give them in state tuition nor did the legislators tell him to believe that conservatives are racists and heartless. That is silly.

Huffington Post... I will not besmirch my screen. How was it that such a magnate of conservatism needs Huffington Post to get his message out accurately huh?

Yes, there are a number of requirements that must be met before the child of an illegal receives the benefit of in-state tuition.

And, by the way, that is not free tuition, it is simply the tuition that all Texans pay.

I don’t know all the requirements but one of them is that they must be pursuing a path to citizenship.

They have to start to pursue citizenship which to get the instate tuition so, in a way, Yes

“Omigosh. Cain proposes a fence that would kill people trying to cross over. I guess there are people around here who would be fine with that.”

Does anybody around here have actual experience with an electric fence?

Has anyone ever raised cattle behind an electric fence?

As a boy, I did. I even peed on an electric fence on a dare. Only once.

Electric fences do not kill anything unless you are dumb enough not to let go and continue crossing.

I've never heard of cattle, one of the dumbest creatures on God's green earth, even being killed by an electric fence. The reason is simple: the shock is not strong enough to electrocute you, but strong enough to make you remember never to touch the electric fence again.

Herman Cain isn't talking about killing border crashers. He is talking about border security.

Plan number one sounds pretty good to me.

I like the idea of cutting the subsidies. All the subsidies are doing is creating false markets and bad pricing.

The cost doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if it’s paid for. It STILL ENCOURAGES ILLEGAL ALIENS TO COME! Is that all you got?

If it isn’t an actual killer fence like those around prison yards, then it’s weak enough to ground out from the Mexican side.

What is it about 4 dissenters in the entire state of Texas regarding the in-state tuition for illegals do you not get?

Okay, but it’s a very naive plan by someone who doesn’t have much of a clue about the Texas border.

Cain likes simple plans that sound good in sound bites.

9-9-9 Zap the intruders.

Love it.

9:35: Asked about whether he is serious about building a moat, filling it with alligators, and surrounding it with an electric fence as a means of securing the border, Herman Cain says “America’s got to learn how to take a joke.”

I get that Texas has a problem with illegals that has spread across this country and they want to give the illegals things that entice them to come here. I have a problem with that. I don’t want to give the illegals anything but a way back home. I know, just call me heartless.

“It’s going to be 20 feet high. It’s going to have barbed wire on the top. It’s going to be electrified. And there’s going to be a sign on the other side saying, ‘It will kill you — Warning.’”

Google it, it should get you to the source.
