Up here in NYS, in my hometown, only 40% graduate from high school...and the "bum rate" and crime rate and drug rate grows....as does the welfare tab.
Education was their best chance...and they don't give a damn.
TEXAS has a good plan.....AND OTHER STATES HAVE THE SAME PLAN. Perry is not alone.
Which has zero to do with college tuition--zero. Grade 12 was still high school last I checked.
Might as well say: "Under FEDERAL LAW, every child, legal or illegal has the right to use a public restroom."
What does any of that have to do with college? Why do you keep talking about kindergarten; elementary, middle, and high schook (k-12) when the subject is college?
Exactly. If the feds hold all the cards and deny you all reasonable tools to do something, you still gotta deal with it.
Why do you think it is a good idea to pay to educate people who can never hold a job in the USA?
Get informed.
Perry doesn’t have the choices, doesn’t hold the cards.
Texas just trying to make the best of a bad situation.
If you don’t live in Texas, who cares what you think?
Perry never offered this as a national model.
The other idiots with this stupid plan are not running for President. I will give them that at least they are not dumb enough to think they should run for President like Ricky Ricardo Perry. Such a fraud. I bet he wishes he could be illegal. He has such empathy for illegals that his wish is probably to clean out Mexico and get them all up here. Disgusting vulcher that Perry.
You're right. Gov. Perry seems to share the same ideology as Gov. Brown of California on this issue. But, calling it a "good plan", I strongly disagree.
Any way you cut it, this can only be seen as an incentive to illegally immigrate. I believe the number of illegal immigrants in our Country is probably around the size of the population of California. Of that growing population, many are dependent on our Government. How can we have a thriving economy while supporting this many additional people? To this Conservative, we can't.
Gov. Perry has been Governor of Texas since December, 2000, under both a Republican and Democrat White House. Yet, illegal immigration has exploded in Texas during his terms. As was proved by Arizona's SB 1070, there are actions a state can take which deter illegal immigration even though it remains a function of the Federal Government.
Perry willingly takes credit for the number of jobs Texas has created, yet continues to refuse to take blame for the illegal immigration growth. Either actions like the Texas Dream Act have contributed to this population growth, Perry is ineffective in dealing with the problem, or Perry truly doesn't see a problem in Texas (or the rest of the Nation) with illegal immigration.
