Texas Ends Tuition Breaks For Illegal Aliens

Texas finally ends in-state tuition perks for illegal aliens, but the part that sticks in our throat is how it happened: not through bold state lawmaking, but through a federal court fight that Texas effectively chose not to fight. We walk through the history of the Texas Dream Act, why it created a backwards incentive structure, and why it should never take Washington to rescue Texans from bad Texas policy.Then we turn to Houston and the fatal ICE shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. We sort through what protesters are demanding, why the mayor and police chief say the “facts have changed,” and why basic transparency tools like body cams, dash cams, and clear markings matter for both accountability and public trust. We can support immigration enforcement and still demand clean procedures that hold up under scrutiny.From there we widen the lens to legal immigration and birthright citizenship incentives, including Rep. Chip Roy’s call to reassess current immigration levels based on wages, housing affordability, schools, and cultural assimilation. We also hit key Texas updates: Lena Hidalgo scaling back after a mono diagnosis, Eagle Pass pushing back on buoy barrier staging at Shelby Park, and Aaron Reitz taking the oath as US attorney for the Southern District of Texas.************************************************Listen every day to our strong conservative programs on Patriot Talk 920 AM.  Tune-in on your radio in Houston to KYST 920 AM or download our app by visiting 920app.com or search for "Patriot Talk 920" from your app store!
