Testimony in support of HB 5580, with Ammon Blair in House Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs

Good morning, Chairman Spiller and members of the committee,

My name is Ammon Blair, and I am a Senior Fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. I bring 22 years of military service and extensive border security experience through my time in the U.S. Army and U.S. Border Patrol. I am testifying in support of House Bill 5580. While I strongly support the intent of this legislation to enhance immigration enforcement through the federal 287(g) program, I must highlight critical limitations within its current form that urgently need your attention.
