IN A POST-9/11 AMERICA, winning the war on terror and securing the homeland is the great calling of our time. In Texas, this challenge takes the form of securing our border with Mexico.

There can be no homeland security without border security. I have taken this message to Washington, D.C. for the last several years, only to have it fall largely on deaf ears. That’s why in 2005, I decided it was time for the State of Texas to take matters into our own hands.
