Most people I know struggle to put their kids through college. How much easier it would be if their kids were illegals! During the last fall semester, 12,138 illegals received financial aid and in-state tuition at Texas Universities. From 2004 to 2008, Texas awarded $33.6 million in financial aid to those students.
State Representative Leo Berman has tried to change this, but he's been stymied by the Supreme Court decision of Plyler vs. Doe. That ruling says that Texas must educate illegal aliens free of charge in public schools. Rick Noriega agrees with this absurdity and thinks we should be paying for these scoff-laws to go to school. "How are they going to perform in high school if they don't even have a chance at higher education?" he asks. Well, that same question could be asked of the thousands of Texans who are paying their own way or are giving up an education because they can't afford it because their money is going for some Mexican to go to school. My question is -- why is this even a question? Shouldn't we be sending illegals back to where they came from?
