"..12,138 students – about 1 percent of all Texas college students – benefited from the state law granting in-state tuition, according to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Most of the immigrants among those students are illegal..."
Maybe Texas should take a look at California.. Here Illegal Aliens have received "in state" tuition and now students, unions, teachers, school employees, etc.. are marching and upset that education is going bankrupt..
International students are required to pay extremely high rates, illegal aliens should be considered, if at all, International students..

I don't know which part of Texas you are from, but here in Houston there are plenty who are enraged. As far as not being California? Texas is quickly becoming the cesspool the beautiful state of California has become due to the massive, MASSIVE influx of illegal aliens.
You say "some kids"? This is in 04/05-I am sure the numbers have jumped considerably since then.
In the 2004/5 school year, Texas had about 690,000 ESL students. Nationally, there are an estimated 5.1 million ESL students speaking 145 languages. 80% of ESL students speak Spanish. If 90% of the ESL students are children of illegal aliens then the education costs for children of illegal aliens is about $34.5 billion per year.

I Love Texas...I love that we are nothing like California, or Arizona. And are far-far from becomming anything like those states.
If you have a large illegal population, you are indeed well on your way to becoming another California.
