-- My point about the military tradition of Texas Hispanics is lost on you, obviously. --

I don't think so. My observation is that the people in the military are legal citizens or legal permanent residents, so (at least on paper) aren't in the country illegally to begin with. My point is that this group of people is irrelevant to the policy of not inquiring about citizenship before granting in-state tuition in an institution of higher learning.

-- You need to get it, once and for all, that without this law, millions of Hispanics could potentially be investigated, simply because they wanted to attend college, on suspicion of being illegal simply because they are Hispanics --

That "you need to get it once and for all" comes off as a bit hostile. Are you having a bad day already?

I think I understand the effect of the law, and I didn't render any ultimate opinion about it, except that the policy tends to encourage staying in the country illegally. You think encouraging people to stay illegally is a good policy, fine.

As for the Hispanic/racist angle, you are the one raising that. I've had to show evidence of legal residency in order to discern whether or not I would pay in or out of state tuition. It's not a big deal, and it certainly is motivated by racial animus. It just happens that the majority of people in the county illegally, near the southern border, are Hispanic. To say that being against illegal presence in the country is racial animus is a false and frankly, incendiary charge.

As for "investigating millions," all sorts of bureaucratic hurdles are erected "by the million."

-- My point about the vote in the TX legislative bodies is that it was so overwhelming, it proves the support was there for this across the board and it is stupid to pretend that it happened because of Rick Perry supposedly being a RINO. --

That's pretty much what I said. A public policy established by the legislature, is the legislature's doing. I just added the observation that this is true of Romneycare, too.

When I said I’m tired of explaining to people who would rather believe and spread lies than accept the truth, I meant it.

That includes you, oh, most definitely it includes you.

I notice you follow me around and post against the truth on numerous threads.

I don’t know if you mean well or, like some, are just mean, nasty liars.

I don’t know you.

But you are tiresome and tiring. You are old, worn out, rung out, dry. Not you but your tiresome falsehoods.

I count you with the worst of the worst we have here, because of what I see repeated and repeated, right in league with the meanest, lowdown prevaricators and vilest language talkers, who wouldn’t care about the truth if their grandmother’s lives hung in the balance on it. Because that’s who you aligned yourself with.

I don’t argue anymore when I have made the truth so clear, it is clear to me the other person cares not a whit.
