UT/TT Poll [EXCERPT]
In-State Tuition
The Texas
Legislature left in place a policy that allows undocumented immigrants
to pay in-state tuition at state colleges and universities if those kids
graduate from Texas high schools, live in the state
for three years and apply for citizenship. And Texas voters are divided
on that, with 41 percent in favor of the policy and 43 percent against
it.
What started as a
bipartisan idea in the Legislature more than a decade ago is now
appealing to 61 percent of Democrats and only 26 percent of Republicans,
the poll found.
“In-state tuition,
like the numbers on gay marriage, is hard for lawmakers to do something
about because they get a lot of resistance,” Henson said. “There’s a lot
of ‘no opinion’ on this among Republicans.”
