Texas and America are being plundered. The University of Texas reserves 90% of freshman admissions for Texas residents. But “Texas resident” does NOT mean American citizen. Under current rules, children of foreign workers on certain temporary visas can qualify for those same seats after their parents establish just 12 months of Texas residency. As Texans, we fund our public universities. The children of Texas parents who have spent their adult lives paying Texas taxes should receive first priority for admission. Our children’s futures should come first.
