Defending the Homeland: How Texas Can Secure the Border

Thursday, June 20, 2024 | 12-1PM CST

The federal government has created an unprecedented border crisis through lax immigration policies, allowing Mexican drug cartels to create a haven of drugs and human smuggling, raking in billions of dollars in the process. Texas had no choice but to step in to secure its border and protect its communities, fighting the federal government in the process.

Join TPPF Secure & Sovereign Texas Campaign Director Selene Rodriguez and Senior Fellow Ammon Blair, along with Rep. Richard Peña Raymond and Rep. Matt Schaefer, as they discuss how Texas has fought to secure the border, the effectiveness of Operation Lone Star, and what measures can further support Texas’ mission.
