State Senator Joe Pittman has joined other senate leaders in announcing a resolution that calls on Preisdent Joe Biden and other federal officials to take action against the negative impacts of illegal immigrants.
Pittman joined Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward, Appropriations Chair Scott Martin and Majority Whip Ryan Aument in circulating the co-sponsored memo today for a resolution that affirms that Governor Abbott is legally exercising his right to defend the state of Texas and its citizens. It also calls on Governor Josh Shapiro to join other governors in supporting Abbott’s actions and for the federal government to send resources to Texas to help secure the border instead of fighting against Abbott’s efforts.
In the joint statement, the lawmakers said that “state and local officials have sounded the alarm regarding the straining of their resources, the scourge of fentanyl deaths, the tragedy of human trafficking…and the flow of illegal firearms and dangerous gang members.”
