If you really look into it, like most of these groups, they're some pasty white college Republican with an AFP funded website and a laptop. You won't find a Mexican within a hundred miles of these morons. The University of Texas has one of the most reasonable tuition costs in the U.S. Look to the source of the problem, which is the Texas Legislature and the Governor's Office.
