SB3 allocates $1.54 billion for border security over two years, funding law enforcement and border barriers. It includes $40 million for enhanced law enforcement in Liberty County’s Colony Ridge. Funds cannot be used for land acquired through eminent domain or for barriers on such land.

The Texas State Senate passed SB3 on November 14, 2023 by a vote of 84 to 59. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the bill strengthens border security and upholds American sovereignty. By funding enforcement and infrastructure, it counters federal policies that undermine the Constitution, deters illegal entry, and reinforces the rule of law to minimize unlawful immigration. This bill addresses the challenges of illegal immigration by safeguarding the nation’s borders and supporting policies that enhance national security rather than weaken it.
