Perry would discriminate against citizens from other states in favor of illegal aliens who had already sucked tens of thousands out of the school system, local and federal, only by judicial fiat.
First off, its a violation of Equal Protection. And a violation of the 1996 immigration reform act. And a rejection of popular will - after all, it was the vote of the people in Tyler way back in 1982 that was overturned in Plyler v. Doe.

Current law allows any illegal immigrant who has a Texas high school diploma and has been a resident of the state for at least 3 years to pay the same tuition rate as full citizens. Beneficiaries also must sign an affidavit pledging to apply for legal status as soon as they are able.
Pure BS. Just another scam to reward illegal aliens.
