“Californians are moving to Texas, attracted to the Lone Star State by jobs and opportunity,” says TPPF’s Chuck DeVore, who came to Texas after serving in the California Assembly. “Now it’s incumbent upon us—both native Texans and transplants—to ensure that Texas remains that beacon of freedom and prosperity.”
The TPPF Take: The MPP was key to protecting the border.
“The reality is that before MPP, hundreds of thousands of people from Central America and elsewhere overwhelmed the capacities of federal border authorities and detention facilities, and gained access into the United States simply by claiming a credible fear of political persecution, even though the vast majority of them lacked a valid claim for asylum,” says TPPF’s John Hostettler. “Revoking the MPP will undo all of the gains we’ve made and could attract new migrant caravans.”
“The last thing we want to do is defund the police,” says TPPF’s Currie Myers, a retired sheriff. “That doesn’t mean there aren’t things we can do better. Everyone needs to work together to ensure that law enforcement is a positive part of government.”
