Justice and Security

We must improve the security of Texans to be safe in their communities and free from injustice.

1. Secure the southern border (interior enforcement to end the “magnet” effect).

• Prevent the hiring of illegal aliens and anyone not legally authorized to work in the US, to protect jobs for American workers.

• Close loopholes in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), indigent health care (non-emergency/non-life-threatening care), and other social welfare programs that allow appropriated funds to go to non-citizens.

2. Stop human trafficking.

• Pass legislation granting the Texas Attorney General full concurrent jurisdiction over multi-jurisdictional cases.

3. Protect the rights of Texans to bear arms.

• Pass constitutional carry while maintaining optional licensure for reciprocity purposes.
