Good morning and thank you for the opportunity to testify before you today.
My name is Ammon Blair, I am a Senior Fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, and I am testifying in support of Senate Bill 659. I bring with me 22 years of military service and extensive border security experience from my time in the U.S. Army and as a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
Throughout my career defending the United States from transnational threats, I have witnessed firsthand the grim reality of cartel infiltration. This is not speculation. It is not exaggeration. It is a cold and brutal truth: some of my colleagues—fellow agents and soldiers—were actively working for the enemy.
