All Texans want a secure border and safe communities, without cruelty, chaos, or political theater. We can enforce the law and still be humane. We can be secure and still be free. And we can protect our neighbors without turning our country into something we don’t recognize. Politicians who use fear to divide us, and a federal immigration system that’s been weaponized for headlines instead of solutions. We need a return to civil immigration enforcement, a secure and well-managed border, and an end to family separation and mass detention camps. We need an immigration policy that is firm, fair, and lawful, not abusive. We do not put children in cages. Full stop. We secure the border, and we keep the federal government out of our cities. Our local, hard-working union police officers know our communities best. They should be doing their jobs, not taking orders from DC bureaucrats or federal agencies trying to score political points. We can protect the First Amendment, the right to speak up and stand up for our neighbors, and the Second Amendment, responsible, lawful ownership, without turning either into a political weapon. America doesn’t need occupation. It needs competence, humanity, and common sense.
