Issue Position: Securing Our Border

Issue Position

Both Washington D.C. and Austin have failed the people of Texas when it comes to making our border safe. I spent years in the United States Air Force engaged in counter drug missions aimed at stopping the tide of illicit drugs from south of the border, and the myriad of criminal operations that accompany. This issue is not just a question of illegal immigration, but one of national security, and protecting the dignity of human life. Every day innocent men, women, and children are caught up in people smuggling, as well as sex and drug trafficking operations across our border with Mexico. The Federal Government purposely turns a blind eye to this unacceptable situation. As your State Representative, it will be my Constitutional duty to protect all Texans, by arming our state agencies and border patrol with the technology and manpower required to protect innocent lives.
