SENATOR HINOJOSA RELEASES BORDER SECURITY PROPOSAL

AUSTIN, TX — Senator Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa has released a Border Security Proposal to work in collaboration with current budget recommendations.

Senator Hinojosa intends to work with leadership and his Senate colleagues to develop a carefully crafted solution emphasizing cost effective border security measures. Attached is a copy of the Memorandum outlining Senator Hinojosa's Border Security Plan.

Senator Hinojosa serves as the Senate President Pro Tempore of the Texas Senate in the 84th Texas Legislature.
