Testimony in Support of HB 674, with Ammon Blair in the House Committee on Homeland Security

Dear Chairman Hefner and members of the committee,

Thank you for the opportunity to testify in support of House Bill 674. My name is Ammon Blair, and I
am a Senior Fellow for the Texas Public Policy Foundation. My testimony today draws directly from my
experience as a Border Patrol Agent in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, specifically at the Rio Grande City
Station in Starr County, and subsequently as a Texas Army National Guard Officer serving on Operation
Lone Star.
