To borrow a quote from Game of Thrones, which recently had its season 5 premiere, “Winter is coming.”
This is what can happen in Texas, our economy could start to freeze up, if we limit educational opportunities for undocumented students in Texas by passing Senate Bill 1819.
It would end the dreams of thousands of Texas high school graduates, who have lived here since they were children, and rely on in-state tuition regardless of immigration status.
The push to rescind 14 years of in-state tuition to these students, known as Dreamers, will greatly impact the Texas economy — a college education would become a bigger financial burden for them, reducing their chances to enter the job market at a professional level.
It’s going to hurt Baby Boomers and retirees who, whether they know it or not, benefit from the taxes paid by these undocumented youth. And if we limit their educational and income opportunities they will pay less in taxes in the future.
Wouldn’t Texas be shooting itself in the “boot” by not supporting the education to develop the skills and knowledge necessary from Dreamers who are just as American as those of us who were born here?

Nothing prevents these “dreamers” from moving to California or some other liberal hell hole that will gladly give them anything they want
This is what passes for logic?
I never understood the mentality of wanting to give illegal aliens in state tuition but denying it for US citizens.
“Texas economy could freeze up if school opportunities for undocumented are limited”
Liar.
I’ll take my chances on that “freeze up”-we have plenty of native born and legal immigrant young Texans, thanks-put the dreamers in la migra’s green van and take them back across the border-with their parents...
Dolores is delusional-she needs to go lie down for a couple of days...
what malarky
“......Dreamers who are just as American as those of us who were born here?”
I completely disagree. I guess I can be listed as “cold hearted”,
I always felt educating illegals children was more of a draw to bring them here and for them to stay. We need to rescind educating illegals. My taxes here in Texas would drop 50% and they could stop building new schools to help our new legal yankee immigrants.
