Honest Illegals

Rick Perry says it's heartless to oppose his scheme to give illegal immigrants a break on college tuition. He's close--it's mindless. Perry seems to find it easy to play fast and loose with his constituent's money. That's not a trait I look for in a president.
In a way Perry's idea makes sense in Texas. They've always had a certain affinity for outlaws. Personally, I have trouble making the subtle distinction between illegally slipping over the border and slipping a bank teller a stick-up note. I'm a bottom line kind of guy and the demand is just the same:
"Hand over the money and nobody gets hurt."
I know we're suppose to believe that illegal entry to America is a victimless crime. And it is--if you don't go to school or hospitals; pay taxes; or vacation at Turner Falls.
I'm told illegals only take jobs Americans don't want. There's a lot of those around nowadays---right? Illegals are honest, hard working, family men/women. Honest illegals; isn't that an oxymoron? The real problem with illegal immigrants is not that they might pay extra to attend a state college, but that they are in the state in the first place.
