For Our State
Reid believes that federal and state agencies should work together in a five-point economic plan to provide the means for Texas to excel.
1.Provide the authority and the resources to the Texas Agriculture Commissioner to manage our most precious and limiting resource: our water. Build dams, causeways and desalination plants for the nation’s fastest-growing economy, Texas.
2.Allow for Texas free markets to drive the building of pipelines for the export of high-quality, low-cost power for the rest of the nation.
3.Seal the border with Mexico while still allowing rancher and farmer access to the river. No actions should place an illegal immigrant above the position of an immigrant waiting to come here legally. Address illegal immigration in our state by enforcing existing laws, including prosecution of employers, and focusing on the three different types of illegal aliens that are here:
a. For those who are here who are hard working (the majority), they may stay as prosecuted felons with probation that removes their ability to vote and own a weapon. The length of probation would be the time required for them to go to the back of the line and then wait their turn behind immigrants who are coming here legally.
b. For those who cause harm with criminal activity (475,000 violent crimes and 4900 rapes since 2008 in Texas), prosecute and imprison.
c. For those who are here to freeload on our economy, identify and deport them.
4.The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should become the Environmental Management Agency (EMA). The mission of the agency should change to helping industry be clean. Real science needs to be introduced into a group of far leftists who have an attitude of hate against our industry.
5.The federal government should negotiate a larger portion of foreign trade with the ports of Texas for the purpose of increasing our oil exports, as well as our industrial growth.
Be blessed. We can take our country back with honorable people and support from the states using Article V of the U.S. Constitution.
