The Texas Senate passed two key border security bills in line with the priorities outlined in the call for the third special session by Gov. Greg Abbott.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said, "Texans are tired of the Biden Administration's abdication of their constitutional responsibility to enforce the southern border. As the Administration's lack of action endangers Texans and all Americans, the passage of SB 4 will support Texas' historic efforts to secure the border and maintain public safety."The Texas Senate has been working diligently to address the priorities of Texans.
The Texas Senate will pass this bill over and over again until it passes the Texas House.
Birdwell pointed out that Texas reached a record number of apprehensions of illegal border crossers in fiscal 2023 of over 1.84 million.
"As a result of the federal government's unwillingness to enforce federal immigration laws and secure our southern border, the state of Texas has stepped up and devoted time and resources to combat the unprecedented border crisis that the state is facing," he said in a statement.
"Texas must take matters into our own hands because the crisis on our southern border, perpetuated by the Biden Administration, continues to rage," he said.
'The Texas Senate has appropriated billions of Texas taxpayer dollars to step into the breach created by Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas.
