No thanks to Perry, Texas already allows illegals to be eligible for in-state tuition. Now, they could get there for free.
The less wealthy are now more equal than the rest of us.
‘Honey, quit your part time job and we’ll get free tuition for Jr. and it’ll be a break even for us if we had to pay for it...”
You're mostly correct. But, it takes a while to establish residency, or at least it did ten years ago. Maybe a year before the application, so closer to two before school entry.
I don't know the exact details, but I have a niece that did that (she was following her grad-school boy friend) and went to UT grad school. It took a while; she couldn't just move there and apply as a resident.
Of course, if you're an illegal, at many schools state residency is irrelevant.
