You can read my full Washington Examiner article that the Gov. Abbott tweeted here. This is a quick run down of the main points of my border plan:

1. Require DHS to carry out border enforcement policies, by closing the asylum loophole. We must ​​defund and prosecute organizations promoting the illegal activities of bogus asylum claims.
2. Complete all physical border infrastructure. This includes building 600 miles of fencing around the border and improving roads along the Rio Grande.
3. Require ICE to remove all illegal immigrants through full interior enforcement. This means strengthening interior enforcement, increasing penalties for violations and aggressively removing visa overstays.
4. Target cartels and designate them as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. This designation would open up new sanctions, penalties, and authorities that would allow the government to prosecute or deport all cartel members, associates, and affiliates.

I want to thank you for your continued support. Abbott’s endorsement of my plan is a clear, strategic victory in our political fight. Of course, many obstacles and a ton of work remain.

If we keep the pressure on and not shy away from speaking the truth boldly, we will take back America. You know that I will continue to do that.

Please keep me in Congress so I can continue to influence sentiments and policy in the right direction. 

What is happening at our border is a travesty and disgrace. Only real, concrete policy solutions with teeth will be able to solve this invasion crisis. Will you help me fight?
