OK but they need to look at what he does, not what he says.
When one of my fellow Texans who, having resided in Texas for over twenty years, on and off, within the military, had to pay out of state tuition for his daughter as they didn’t meet a residence requirement - a twenty five year active duty man.
Illegal aliens are placed ahead of this family for in state tuition rates by Perry’s approval.
Start there then search for his actions to coincide with his rhetoric.
But he didn't reside CONTINUOUSLY apparently. So what does on and off mean??
Your post makes no sense.
BS
He is on record supporting this. And it cost him a drop in polls.
Well, what state exactly was your friend a 'resident' of anyway? Was it TX? On tax day, did he file TX income tax forms? Even if he was in TX based on military service, it was always his option to change his residency legally to TX...so why didn't he?
Usually, military personnel choose their state of residence based on what costs them less in taxes...i.e., they can maintain their state of residence from when they entered the service if it is advantageous from a tax standpoint...or they can switch.
But I don't see why your friend's plight in paying for his kid's college is a mark against Perry if he wasn't a TX resident.
I was placed in the same boat by those fools because of my time in the military and working oversea's . Behind the illegals, you don't qualify, gringo!
Military dependents have pretty loose residency requirements - the parents must never have declared themselves Texas residents at all if the child didn’t qualify.
