With Election Day approaching, candidates in several Texas races are offering sharply different approaches to border security and immigration enforcement. Candidates in several Texas races are offering sharply different approaches to border security and immigration enforcement. Some candidates advocate for barriers and deportations, while others advocate for stronger border operations. Republican Ken Paxton, Texas’ attorney general since 2015, has criticized Democratic state Rep. James Talarico’s legislative record on border security. Talaric has argued that the federal government should focus on violent criminals and cartels, while expanding Border Patrol staffing, surveillance technology, and ports-of-entry capacity. Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar supports border enforcement but opposes funding a border wall. In a recent debate, Republican Brandon Herrera and Democrat Katy Padilla Stout both opposed a physical border wall through Big Bend National Park, but differed over what security measures should replace it. Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz's campaign platform includes reinstating the "Remain in Mexico" policy, ending catch-and-release, building border infrastructure, and supporting Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection staffing.
