Most states think the DREAM ACT is something new. Perry gave it to us back in 2001. That should have told Texas voters but apparently it didn’t because he’s now been in office 14 very long mamsy pamsy liberal years.

No, Perry didn’t give it to us. We can’t blame him. Texans voted for it. He signed it.

At the time, we were told, “Children who were brought here through no fault of their own should be able to get an education so Texans don’t have to support them.”

It made sense at the time and a for a little while afterward. They were minors brought here by their illegal parents. The children had no choice in the matter. Educating them would lessen our tax burden. And the tuition wasn’t was free. It was the same amount Texas citizens and residents paid. Illegals were coming here for jobs and free healthcare not slightly discounted tuition.

Now? We have terrorists, criminals, illegals and unaccompanied minors flowing across the border like a tidal wave. It has to stop. All of it. They have to go back to their own countries.
