The first step to immigration reform is to fully and finally secure our borders and ports of entry. Since the federal government has made it clear that securing our porous border is not a matter of priority, Texas has once again taken matters into its own hands at the state level. During the 84th Legislative Session we passed monumental reforms and appropriated over $800 million from our state's general revenue to provide more equipment, more boots on the ground and added training for our state and local law enforcement to protect our citizens from gang violence, human trafficking and drug cartels.
