STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31099 / HR006
The United States faces an unprecedented crisis at its southern border, as hundreds of thousands of illegals
stream across, ignoring traditional immigration procedures and overwhelming border patrol agents and local
communities. The Federal Government has failed in its duty of securing the border and protecting us in
what amounts to an invasion, and in response the state of Texas has acted, invoking its constitutional right
to self-defense. This resolution voices the consent of the House in recognizing the state of Texas’ right to
self-defense, and condemns the current administration’s failure to protect its citizens.
FISCAL NOTE
This resolution has no fiscal impact on the state’s budget.
