HB 7 by Guillen: Border Security
PRO-TAXPAYER POSITION
Support
Senate Journal Page: 2557
HB 7 ultimately seeks to direct needed resources to the border region to provide border security support services in the realms of the judicial system, law enforcement, public safety, and public health. HB 7 also creates a path to compensate property owners for damages caused by crossings between ports of entry among other things. Though TFR ultimately supports this bill we implore Texas lawmakers to ensure appropriate transparency and accountability mechanisms are in place to ensure an efficient and effective use of taxpayer dollars.
