How to Stop the Migrant Caravans That Are Headed to Texas - Our abundant jobs and relatively high wages, along with the lack of any effective enforcement of immigration compliance by employers, create an irresistible magnet for more migrants. The pull is so strong that no border wall and no deployment of National Guard members can hold back the tide. The key benefit of the “ID and Tax” approach is that it would stop the flow of undocumented workers where it’s most practical to do so— at the job site. If Hondurans and other prospective undocumented migrants know they can’t get a job in the U.S., they won’t come.

Texas, Our Texas (Flag) - In 1839, the Republic of Texas adopted our bold flag as a symbol of our fierce independence. Each color represents a staple characteristic of our state: red for bravery, white for purity, and blue for loyalty. The red and white stripe resemble the flag of the Republic of Fredonia, a short-lived Republic near modern-day Nacogdoches that seceded from Mexico in the 1820s. The famous single star represents all Texans standing together for God, state, and country.
