Issue Position: Border Security

Issue Position

Immigration and border security are federal responsibilities. That said, when the federal government fails to act, we must step in as a state. I spent years in U.S. Air Force engaged in counter-drug missions aimed at stopping the tide of illicit drugs from south of the border. Border security is national security, and the safety of Texans is of the utmost importance. In the 85th Legislature, I was happy to be a co-author of the bill to ban sanctuary cities in Texas. I also supported the Schaefer/Rinaldi amendment that strengthened the language and was an integral member in getting it passed. I will do everything possible to support the law moving forward.
