SENATOR SHAPLEIGH TO RESPOND TO GOVERNOR RICK PERRY'S ADDRESS ON BORDER SECURITY
February 23, 2009
“For too long, we have watched money wasted on virtual immigrant hunts and paid patrols trying to trap immigrants. Now is the time for real security and a clear focus on the real threat—violent, international criminal gangs," Senator Shapleigh said. "Today, we ask the Texas DPS to organize around corridor teams—a proven approach coordinated with local, state and federal law enforcement to gather better intelligence, arrest key gang leaders and seize cash, weapons and property to deny drug cartels a base in our communities.”
