The American children and people are just as innocent as the illegal children.
What are they to say when they graduate? “I want to thank my mother and father for being dishonest and bringing me here illegally so that I could have an education I did not deserver”.
Colleges full of illegals - again, people driving over the real problem at 100 MPH.
Each illegal in college takes a slot a legal citizen could otherwise claim. Each anchor baby in college takes a slot a legal citizen could otherwise claim. Same is true of Pell grants, scholarships, etc. We don’t have an unlimited supply of any of it.
It’s ingrained now, isn’t it?
The problem is the illegals, not the in-state tuition. The irony is that Perry and the rest think we don’t get the DREAM act - we do. It offers in-state tuition to children of illegal aliens. It amounts to profitting off of the crimes of the parents.
Why should we ‘punish’ the children of illegal aliens? Because it is essentially ‘fruit of the poisonous tree’, so to speak.
Illegals came, landed, bred, and now are benefitting from their illegal acts. Meanwhile, there are long, long lines of people waiting to immigrate to the US LEGALLY. A nation of laws are we? Only when it is convenient.
How does one establish legal residency in any state when in the very first place, you are HERE ILLEGALLY.
Now, is this something the GOP has the IQ to follow as an argument? Legal residency in a state to establish in-state tuition for the children of illegal aliens is absurd.
They’ll all say they oppose blanket amnesty, but they apparently about all support close-to-blanket amnesty.
And the raw political reality is that that will lead to an end to conservative majority voting. In some ways this is the one issue that must be handled right to let the rest fall in line.
Well, that and he’s not a natural born citizen so not eligible to be VP or President. But it probably does not matter because it appears that all 535 members of the US legislature and the supreme court decided in 2008 to unilaterally change the Constitution. We the people have nothing more to say about it so we all need to sit down and STFU.
Maybe after the coming collapse we can get things back on course.

“They seem to hold most of the dang cards, sometimes.”
They usually have throughout GOP history. Goldwater and Reagan were outsiders who defeated the Country Club’s chosen candidates.
Some of today’s conservatives are social conservatives who might once have been Democrats. They are an embarrassment to the Country Club GOP, which shares most of the socially progressive values of the Democrat Left.
Thanks! I’m glad someone else here has noticed that the candidates on both sides of the aisle are quiet about immigration. It’s not as if anyone maligning Perry is saying, “Oh, and I would NEVER do that!” They’re all just saying what he’s done. Meanwhile, they’d rob Peter to pay off any constituency that promised them power—let alone pay Paul. We need a candidate who is willing to get government out of our pockets first, and then worry about politics, not a Perry type who always thinks of money and voting blocs.
