I don’t want to educate them, period. But it is the law. A bastardization of the law but it is what it is.
They’re illegal. Cut off all taxpayer goodies and they will deport themselves. I know that that flies in the face of those who are benefitting from their cheap labor. Too bad. They are unscrupulous businesses maximizing their profits by socializing the costs. What is Conservative about that?
Actually, the Texas law violates federal law.
Federal law passed in 1996 prohibits illegal aliens from receiving in-state tuition rates at public institutions of higher education. Specifically, Section 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (Title 8, Chapter 14, Sec. 1623(a)) states: "an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State (or a political subdivision) for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit (in no less an amount, duration, and scope) without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident."
