Ten years ago Governor Rick Perry spoke in south Texas at a border summit with Mexico. And what was on his agenda? One of the ideas he floated was a study to explore “the feasibility of bi-national health insurance” which would provide coverage for residents from both countries along the border. (Who the heck he proposed paying for this was never discussed.) At the event he also proudly announced that he had signed a Texas DREAM Act to give in-state tuition rates to the children of illegal immigrants. You can read more about it here and here.
