Perry expressed his pride in the enactment of the statute extending in-state tuition to children of undocumented workers. He said: We must say to every Texas child learning in a Texas classroom, “we don’t care where you come from, but where you are going, and we are going to do everything we can to help you get there.” And that vision must include the children of undocumented workers. That’s why Texas took the national lead in allowing such deserving young minds to attend a Texas college at a resident rate. Perry has opposed the creation of the Mexico – United States barrier, which is meant to keep out illegal aliens. Perry said the Arizona immigration law SB 1070 “would not be the right direction for Texas” and would distract law enforcement from fighting other crimes.
