SCR 36 - A Call for Congressional Border Action

The Texas Senate Transportation and Homeland Security Committee recently considered Senate Concurrent Resolution 36, which calls on the U.S. Congress to develop a plan to protect Texans and secure our border.

The resolution urges Congress to prepare a cost analysis of the funding necessary to fully enforce all federal immigration laws in Texas. The resolution also calls for Congress to report that figure to the Texas Legislature along with the status of the funding. Additionally, the resolution requests a meeting among Texas leaders and Congress to discuss the ongoing border security crisis.

This bipartisan resolution recognizes the many failures of current policies to adequately address border security. Moreover, it reasserts the need for the federal government to act on its Constitutional duties to protect your Texas border.

Plans to Reduce Border Resources Increase Threat to Security

This March 15, 2011 article in the Houston Chronicle reflects bi-partisan outrage at announced administration plans to reduce troop strength on the U.S.-Mexico border. It also confirms bi-partisan recognition that we have a security problem on our southern border.

With bi-partisan support, why no action? We don't need finger pointing when the safety of our citizens is at stake. Just give us more personnel to protect our people and property. You don't just have to take my word for the reality of this danger.
