Kelly supports a secure border. He understands that a key component of border security is removing illegal immigration incentives. To that end, he coauthored Texas' ban on sanctuary cities, which requires all Texas law enforcement departments to comply with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer requests. During the Obama administration years, Kelly voted for increased state funding and personnel at the Texas-Mexico border until the federal government would step up and do its job again.
