Victory! Illegal-Alien Tuition Breaks Allowed by U.S. Supreme Court - Page 2

Personally, I doubt I (INDIVIDUALLY) cost the state $20k per year. For example, my physics seat in my summer class would have been empty if I hadn't enrolled in the class.

Anyways, these are AVERAGES per student. Most individual students do not cost the state $20k. However, I do believe that granting financial (such as in Texas) to Dreamers will result in the state's loss.

What I don't understand is how Texas a very conservative state with a conservative governor and legislator let Dreamers get financial aid????

Does this mean Conservatives are better for immigration reform when they are left alone and by themselves ???

I've been puzzle by this as well, but I've never looked into the makeup of the legislature who passed the measures. It might be wise to seek to replicate that. Makes you wonder..

Sure it does, inaction speaks just as loud as action.

Texas is in the south, but it's not part of the south. We've got the racist xenophobes, but most people here also don't mind an underclass that will do your laundry, watch your kids, and cut your grass (especially when it's 100F for 4 months straight).

That's why we have bills that penalize illegal immigrant employers.... so long as they're not households employing 'the help.'

yeah i dunno if the government is actually subsidizing the education as much as the uni is granting a discount. The 20k figure seems inflated and the University is still a business making a dime. Sure much of their income comes from research stipends from other places, but something tells me a big chunk still comes from tuition. I mean, all of those liberal art majors are not really bringing in money other than in the form of tuition.
