In-State tuition law

In 2001, Governor Rick Perry signed a law provision allowing illegal immigrants to pay in- state college tuition rates. To be eligible, each student from that group will have to have stayed in Texas for 3 years, graduate from a Texas high school and apply for permanent residency. That had been criticizing all around the United States of America especially for student outside Texas that is looking forward to enroll in a college or university in Texas.
The reason of the critique is because the will have to pay out- of- state tuition. Me personally I think the law signed by GOV. Rick Perry was well though and process because even though those people are illegal immigrant, the condition set to be eligible will make the person who follow the conditions a Texas resident. Therefor I do not see the reason why someone who pays taxes for the State of Texas should be denied in-state tuition. They pay taxes on goods and  property to the state of Texas while a formal American citizen from Ohio for example is not paying any taxes to the State of Texas there he cannot be considered as Texas resident unless he comply with the Texas law. People should not have problem with the In-state tuition law because after an illegal immigrants graduated from one college in Texas, he cannot operate because of his status therefore will not be able to carry the license that he or she worked hard. I think the American government should helped GOV. Rick Perry and Texas by granting at least the permanent residency for brilliant to student that are ready to help the America and Texas by practicing on their field and therefore pay even bigger taxes. For example, Karla Resendiz an illegal immigrant in an interview accorded to the Texas Tribune, talking about her graduating with honor at the University of Texas Austin(Pharmacy school)  because of the In-state tuition law, but have not be able to practice as a pharmacist because the federal government is holding her.  For someone like her, the American government should helped Texas by granting her the permanent residency in order for her to practice so that all three parties will benefit from it.

Death Penalty

       Death penalty or capital punishment is a sentence of death upon individuals by judicial process as a punishment for an offence. Execution is a matter of controversy in various States and the position can vary within a single political ideology or cultural region. Amount States that have adopted death penalty, Texas occupies the first rank. The position is due to fact that Texans considered execution as part of their culture.  Therefore, it has always been carry throughout Texas history. Since the adoption of the death sentence, Texas encountered 474 executions.
     The formal Texas Governor Rick Perry is popular in Texas because of the 234 executions he presides since he took the office in 2000. According to the University of Texas and the Texas Tribune poll, Texans are supporting the death penalty in substantial number even in the face of doubts about fairness of process. For example, during the presidential primary Wednesday September 7, 2011 Governor Rick Perry and his followers showed a sense of proudness when the moderator Brian Williams talked about the 234 executions that Governor Rick Perry presided. Those numbers are scary if we considered the fact that the judicial system is not hundred percent reliable and a percentage people killed can actually not be guilty.
