Catch and release was a complete failure. I am glad President Trump stopped it! #txlege Seventy-five percent of illegal immigrants skip deportation hearings, hiding out in US https://t.co/kvwm9sWQUF

Texas will not stand idly by while Joe Biden & Kamala Harris fail to protect Texans and secure our border. @VP chose to put on a show in El Paso, miles away from the true border crisis. We chose to fund border security and take matters into our own hands. #txlege https://t.co/t337oo8kdr
Proud Texas has led on banning sanctuary cities #Trump2020
Don’t be fooled by Border Czar Harris' newly acquired border talk. Last October, she and Biden sent federal agents to destroy Texas’ border barriers, allowing illegal immigrants to enter our country. She doesn’t believe in borders or American sovereignty! #txlege https://t.co/rnDlGOyFt0
It’s morning in America, and the polls are opening across the nation. The outcome of this election will not only determine the next four years but the direction of our country for years to come. There's only one Presidential candidate on the ballot who will secure our border, end… https://t.co/tuv1tzAS1O https://t.co/aSIQtXD3v0
Securing the border is a top priority. I co-authored the sanctuary cities ban to keep our communities safe, and I will continue to fight for legislation that protects Texans. https://t.co/KplVhjoTD1 https://t.co/STe5Sy4N4G
Harris wants voters to forget this tweet now that it's been reported that there are 435,719 illegal immigrants who are convicted criminals and 226,847 who have criminal charges roaming free in our country. Her and Biden's failed immigration policies are to blame. #txlege https://t.co/ntEZhiQm8V
Because of the #BidenBorderCrisis, we passed $1.8B to fund #BorderSecurity: - Border wall - More National Guard & DPS troopers - More safety equipment - Aid for law enforcement in border counties. We are strengthening our border & protecting all Texans. #txlege https://t.co/2mSkYMHLQH
The media is celebrating that border encounters are decreasing, but they fail to mention that Biden and Harris' failed border policies are what spiked numbers in the first place. They are now trying to backtrack on those policies and "fix" the crisis they created, yet encounters… https://t.co/Vd1BKhcgDL https://t.co/XnjnwDfq0R
#SOTU President Trump recognized the success of our border patrol agents who work to secure our Southern Border If you come illegally, you will now be promptly removed from our country. TX is the forefront of this fight, & we have passed legislation to secure our border.#txlege https://t.co/pIoskILs0y
