Texas, the first state to establish ISRT benefits for undocumented college students, has been a site of tension respective to this issue over the last 20 years. In fact, there have been eight legislative attempts to repeal the state’s affirmative ISRT policy. In order to investigate this ongoing ISRT debate in Texas, we used critical discourse analysis methods to analyze the implicit and explicit messages communicated in the policy and surrounding policy discourse. Our conceptual framework, grounded in three constructs of critical whiteness studies including ontological  \nexpansiveness, color evasiveness, and individualization, allowed us to uncover whiteness asa pernicious undergirding force within this policy discourse.  \nKeywords: undocumented students; in-state resident tuition; state policy; whiteness; Texas  \nDescubriendo la blancura como discurso: Un análisis crítico del discurso del debate sobre el costo de la escuela para estudiantes indocumentados en Texas Resumen: Los estudiantes universitarios indocumentados en los Estados Unidos seencuentran con una serie de barreras estructurales para el éxito de la educación postsecundaria, incluyendo políticas para costos dispares para la escuela (ISRT) en todo el país. Texas, el primer estado en establecer beneficios de ISRT para estudiantes universitarios indocumentados, ha sido un sitio de tensión con respecto a este tema durante los últimos 20 años. De hecho, ha habido ocho intentos legislativos para derogarla política afirmativa de ISRT del estado. Con el fin de investigar este debate ISRT encurso en Texas, utilizamos métodos de análisis crítico del discurso para analizar los mensajes implícitos y explícitos comunicados en la política y el discurso político circundante. Nuestro marco conceptual, basado en tres constructos de estudios críticos dela blancura que incluyen la expansividad ontológica, la evasión del color y la individualización, nos permitió descubrir la blancura como una fuerza subyacente dentrode este discurso político.  \nKeywords: estudiantes indocumentados; matrícula; política estatal; blancura; Texas  \nDesvendando a brancura como discurso: Uma análise crítica do discurso do debate sobre o custo da escola para estudantes indocumentados no Texas  \nResumo: Estudantes universitários indocumentados nos Estados Unidos encontram umasérie de barreiras estruturais para o sucesso da educação pós-secundária, incluindo políticaspara custos díspares para a escola (ISRT) em todo o país. .
