Issue Position: Border Security, Amnesty, and Sanctuary Cities

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2016

Border security is the biggest threat to Texas' security and prosperity that we face today. The time for excuses has long past. Texas must secure our border, period.
But we must also deal with interior issues. So-called sanctuary cities that host and support illegal immigrants put Texans at risk and unnecessarily burden taxpayers. I believe a reasonable first step to rid our state of sanctuary cities is to stop the flow of state dollars to these cities until they reverse their policies.
Texas doesn't have to wait for the big-government politicians in Washington--we can act now. I support pressuring Governor Abbott to use his authority to seal the border with the Texas National Guard.
