Agenda Item: Illegal Immigration at the U.S. Mexico Border

Texas Senate is the upper house of the Texas Legislature in the United States, with the Texas State House of Representatives being the lower house. The Texas Senate is one of the 50 state legislatures in the United States with 31 members, who represent approximately 940 thousand citizens of Texas and it’s led by Republicans with 19 senators. The senate has been controlled by the Republicans since the Seventy-Fifth Texas Legislature. Illegal immigration at the U.S. Mexico border has been a crucial issue for a long time now in the state of Texas. Arrests for illegal border crossings from Mexico reached an all-time high in December 2023, says the authorities while President Joe Biden is in his campaign for a second term. While the United States is waiting for one of the important elections of the United States, the senators of this committee will be trying to solve an important issue for the Texas state while trying to understand the founding elements of this country.
