In-state tuition is a state matter and the students of illegals have paid state taxes through sales tax, property taxes etc. for at least three years.

I took it that they had to pay out of pocket. Maybe I misunderstood Perry on Hannity. He said they had to pay out of pocket and that no government funding was involved. Perhaps he meant if they had not been in the state for three years yet.

??? I’m not understanding.

Yes, the students of illegals pay their tuition out of pocket but they need to have been a student in Texas schools for at least three years, to get the discounted in-state tuition rate. (that’s how I understand it)

I’m saying that the students of illegals that have been in Texas schools for at least three years, have paid sales taxes among other state taxes in those years (which is prob’ly longer than 3). Children from out of state (legal or illegal) would not have paid into state taxes.
