Texans must come first.

Immigration laws can be enforced, and stopping illegal immigration from coming across our border can be achieved, without shooting people.

We have helicopters flying over, we have drones flying over, we're looking at every square inch of the entire area for anybody who may be stranded anywhere, and there will be help coming very rapidly to whoever may be displaced wherever…
