In his blog's article “Texas GOP Needs Abbott to Lead”, which is about the Texas DREAM Act, David
Jennings states that it is a problem that all four republican
candidates running for Lt. Governor oppose DREAM. The Texas DREAM Act would
allow “illegal” children to pay in-state college tuition. He
explains, that if Texas already puts so much money into the K-12
education of those children, it doesn't make sense to have them pay
out of state college tuition. Most republicans voted for the bill, so
why are all republican candidates for Lt. Governor against it? Greg
Abbott, who will probably run for Texas governor doesn't oppose the
Act, so Jennings thinks that he should make his opinion clear and
stand up for the children.The blog is written for people who are
interested in DREAM, who are affected by DREAM, and who want to see
different opinions on DREAM. To underline his argument, Jennings uses
several links to official websites to show evidence of the time when
DREAM passed.
Since the Texas DREAM Act doesn't help
to establish permanent residency, as the US DREAM Act does, I don't
see a reason why it would hurt to keep it. It only helps them to get
a higher education. Many children who come from illegally immigrated
families don't even get to the point where they even consider
college. Either they weren't good enough in high school, or they
don't even see a chance of paying the colleges' tuition. Now, when
they are ambitious, and want to use the chance they have by going to
school in the US, why not make it a little easier, and allow them the
benefits everyone gets, who received a high school diploma from an
institution in Texas? And to get to another one of Jennings points,
why did republicans vote for the Act, and now they are turning away
from it? Is this a change in the republican philosophy? Or does it
just depend on who you'd ask, no matter whether the person would be
republican or democrat? Questions that remain unanswered for now, but
influence many children's lives in Texas.
