Texas Scorecard by Sydnie Henry November 29, 2022
“Texas is under an invasion, and we need this border wall now more than ever.”State Rep. Bryan Slaton (R–Royse City) has filed legislation to finish President Trump’s border wall.
According to Slaton’s office, House Bill 209 would “empower the Texas Department of Public Safety to use the Border Security Enhancement Fund to construct a wall along the border while meeting minimum federal specifications.”
It would also name the barrier the “President Donald J. Trump Wall.”
“Texas is under an invasion, and we need this border wall now more than ever,” said Slaton. “The human trafficking, crime, and illegal drugs that the cartels are bringing over our borders have reached unprecedented levels. Over 100,000 people died from illegal drugs last year alone. This is truly a crisis. While the whole nation is affected by the situation on our border, Texans are suffering the most. We must act.”
President Joe Biden’s open border crisis continues, with more than 2.3 million encounters on the southwest border last year and more than 230,000 encounters already in this first month of the new federal fiscal year.
