There’s a section in the IIRIRA that relates to in-state tuition. That’s what the Dream Act conflicts with. As for what I’d do, I’d uphold my oath of office. If Perry wants illegals to be given in-state tuition rates and other bennies, he should work to get Congress to change federal law.

Federal law passed in 1996 prohibits illegal aliens from receiving in-state tuition rates at public institutions of higher education. Specifically, Section 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (Title 8, Chapter 14, Sec. 1623(a)) states: "an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State (or a political subdivision) for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit (in no less an amount, duration, and scope) without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident."
