Two-faced Rick Perry lies about his illegal alien benefits law, pretends to be tough.
“Again this week, Rick Perry is lying about his programs to give grants and in-state tuition to illegal aliens,” says Debra Medina. “In 2001, Rick Perry signed the nation’s first law giving in-state tuition preferences to illegal aliens [1]. After lying to the state live about it during the Belo debates, he’s lying about it again this week in his answer to the Fort Worth Star Telegram voter’s guide.”
“Rick Perry’s program (HB 1403, 2001) [2]not only violates federal law by giving preferential tuition treatment to illegal aliens, it gives cash grants to those same illegal aliens, while Texans and Americans have to scrimp to pay the continuously rising costs of college education,” said Medina.
“Last week, Perry slammed the federal government for costing Texas money by not protecting the border, [3] but Rick Perry has made it clear; pandering to illegal aliens and growing government is more important to him than being responsible with the money of Texas taxpayers,” Medina said.
