This is one thing Rand hasn't pandered on: direct freebies for illegals.
Jindal, Walker, Perry, Nikki Haley, Christie, Jeb, Mike Pence and all these governors are to the left of Rand on immigration though they will run as if they weren't.
George P. Bush, son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and currently a candidate for Texas’ land commissioner post, said that he supports in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants and that the cost of supplying an education to the immigrants is “nominal” to taxpayers.
Speaking at The Texas Tribune Festival, the young Bush also said that until there is a "sensible alternative" to Texas' version of the DREAM Act, he will continue to support the law signed by Texas Gov. Rick Perry back in 2001.
In regards to in-state tuition, Bush, said that it is just "a nominal cost from an economic perspective" and added that it could be indexed, meaning that undocumented children who began in kindergarten will receive 100 percent coverage while those who start from the 5th grade will get 50 percent and so on.

“That was probably a poor use of the term,” Perry told Tribune CEO and Editor-in-Chief Evan Smith.
Asked how he would handle the issue if it came up again, he added, “I wouldn’t say they were heartless. I would say I hope I can explain to you why in 2001 this was the right thing to do for the state of Texas.”

But as Mr. Bush made the case for an immigration overhaul and the Common Core standards, Mr. Tillis gently put distance between himself and his guest of honor, who had flown here from Florida on a dreary day to offer his endorsement in a race that could decide which party controls the Senate.

The GOP platform adopted at the state convention this summer jettisoned what was known as the “Texas Solution” on immigration. The new plank calls for repealing the state law that allows resident Texas children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at state universities. The law was passed more than a decade ago with almost no opposition in either the state House or Senate.
