Perry’s support for in-state tuition for illegal immigrants draws fire | 2012 Presidential…
Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and other GOP contenders, sensing a potential weakness on a big issue to many Republican voters, are hammering Perry for supporting a law permitting in-state college tuition for illegal immigrants.
The first-in-the-nation law was passed by the Texas Legislature in 2001 with Perry’s support. Perry says the bill has enabled thousands of additional students to get a college education, but some of his Republican opponents have condemned the law, saying it rewards illegal behavior.
