Issue Position: Stop Illegal Immigration

Issue Position

We have a sovereign duty to protect our citizens, not only physically but fiscally as well. Illegal immigration puts both of these at risk. We are a country that is guided by the rule of law, and out of control illegal immigration makes a mockery of this principle. Furthermore, the financial strain that illegal immigrants place on our society and governmental service is staggering. We must use all means necessary to secure the Texas border and end the incentives that encourage illegal behavior. To that end, I was proud to pass bills in 2015 and 2017 allocating $800 million to border security efforts, and passed a bill to ban sanctuary cities in Texas.
