[excerpt] Illegal immigrants entering Texas’ higher education system are direct beneficiaries of a 1982 Supreme Court decision, Plyler vs. Doe. Parents in Tyler sued after the state began charging tuition for illegal immigrant children. The court ruled that Texas and the rest of the country must educate illegal immigrant children free of charge in public schools.

Some of the most vocal illegal immigration opponents don’t oppose the decision. But they say higher education is different, because it is tuition-based.

........A challenge to a similar law in Kansas failed in 2005 after a federal judge found that out-of-state college students had no standing to challenge the law there, since they had not been harmed by it. [end excerpt]

2009---TEXAS DREAM ACT DEMONSTRATION---education PLUS.
Conspiring to destroy the USA from within.

It just looks like they're mowing lawns and cleaning houses.
It's what they do in their secret enclaves we should heed.

I think it is discriminatory against American citizens for the governor to give foreigners in state tutition while denying Americans the same benefit on the backs of Texas taxpayers. Are Mexicans more special to Perry than are Americans?

It has been said that Perry is a better president of Mexico and representative of the Mexican people than he is as Texas governor, stabbing Texans in the back on behalf of jobs and benefits for Mexicans.

This is a problem. He is also in pursuit of creating a North American Union that would make our constitution and governing bodies subservient to a globalist run government and law. Where does he stand on Algore’s global warming scam? What about the politically correct abuses of the Patriot Act - will he axe Homeland inSecurity to the size it needs to be to go after jihadists as intended and leave Americans alone?

So many questions...
