We may not sit on the southern border, but here in House District 13, we’re living with the fallout. Major highways cut through our communities, making our small towns a direct route for smugglers, traffickers, and cartel operations. The chaos at the border doesn’t stop at the Rio Grande — it reaches right into the heart of rural Texas.
Under President Biden, we were left to fend for ourselves. Federal enforcement was gutted. Our law enforcement officers were undermined. Families across Texas bore the cost of open-border policies that invited chaos. Thankfully, that chapter is over.
Now, with President Trump back in office, Texas once again has a partner in Washington who takes the border crisis seriously. This legislative session, we matched that leadership with one of the strongest border security packages in Texas history.
