The federal government has continuously failed to protect our international borders and enforce current immigration policy. If the federal government will not do its job, then I believe it is the responsibility of of Texas to secure its own borders. I believe that increased border security is critical for increasing job opportunities for Americans, and decreasing crime and taxes on Texas families. I also oppose blanket amnesty, the ending of sanctuary cities and support the ability of Texas law enforcement to enforce the rule of law and the will of the people.
