In State tuition is only granted to students who have attended Texas High School for minimum 3 years and have personally applied for citizenship. During their 3 years in HS, them and their illegal parents, like every other Texas citizen, paid State Sales tax and Local Shool tax, whereas out of state students have not paid a dime toward Texas schools.
Its unlikely any Mexican HS student came here on their own just to go the Texas HS for 3 years and then get a relatively small tuition break (the $10000 Mutt blabbed, exgerating of course, was for University of Texas, which is expensive and which damn few regular Texas students can get into because of grades). Mostly we are talking about smaller colleges and Jr. colleges, not UT or A&M.
A kid going to public school typically costs more than $5,000 per year. Illegals don’t even begin to pay enough taxes to cover their children going to public school. If they have three kids in school that’s $15,000 a year, year after year, being dumped on the taxpayers. And that’s not including all the other public services they are likely to consume.
If the children are citizens, they’re citizens and qualify no differently than anyone else. If they aren’t citizens they do not. To allow illegal children to go to school is stealing from the community plain and simple. To reward people who steal from the community is down right wrong and provides and incentive for more to do the same.

If they are ILLEGAL how can they prove that? (Local school tax).
