No in-state for tuition for illegals, 5th Circuit affirms | Birth tourism cheats Texans? – Pratt on Texas 7/10/2026

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas and the Trump Administration rightly win at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on the long unjust issue of illegal aliens getting in-state tuition in Texas.

“Put another way, if some U.S. citizens or nationals, regardless of residency, are ineligible for reduced in-state tuition rates, then all illegal aliens must be ineligible to receive the same benefit based on residency. U.S. citizens or nationals must be treated no worse than illegal aliens,” wrote Judge Smith.

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.

The abuse of our country by foreigners is almost infinite and so much of it has been right under our noses in plains sight – especially on the “birthright” citizenship issue. Rep. Hillary Hickland reported: “It’s been exposed that hospitals in South Texas are actively advertising ‘birth packages’ in Mexico, encouraging people to come to the U.S. solely to give birth and secure citizenship for their children. This is illegal, it is predatory to our already strained healthcare system, and it is a complete abuse of America’s hospitality. Shockingly, these discounted packages for non-residents are often far cheaper than what our insurance companies and Texas taxpayers are billed.”

Oil and gas drilling rig count for Baker Hughes.

More Little Jimmy “The Creep” Talarico creepy hypocrisy – he clearly supports some of the most horrific and sinful things in which our society’s Left believes.
