The Office of the Governor today released a web video following Governor Greg Abbott signing a comprehensive border security plan into law yesterday. Governor Abbott's plan, which he declared a legislative priority, provides historic levels of funding to secure the border, establishes a Child Sex Trafficking Prevention Unit, strengthens penalties for human traffickers and increases funding for the border prosecution unit.
"Our first and foremost obligation is to protect our citizens' safety," Governor Abbott says in the video. "This comprehensive border security plan will ensure the safety of our communities, and I am proud to implement it."
