Urging Congress to
reimburse the State of Texas for bearing the financial burden of the federal
government's responsibility to secure the Texas-Mexico international border.
No fiscal note.
This Concurrent
Resolution conveys the 84th Texas State Legislature’s dissatisfaction
with the federal government's insufficient efforts to secure the border between
Texas and Mexico.
Clearly the federal
government is not fulfilling its Constitutional responsibility to secure the
border, causing the state of Texas to step up to fill the void that the federal
level has caused. The state of Texas should be reimbursed for the expenses that
have accrued due to the federal government's dereliction of its Constitutional
duties.
We support HCR 61
because it affirms our limited government principle and personal responsibility
principle.
