2021 Governor's State of the State speeches: on Immigration


Greg Abbott: Texas must fortify its efforts to secure our border

Public safety also extends to our border. Because of the federal government's open border policies, Texas must fortify its efforts to secure our border. We already have planes in the air, boots on the ground, boats on the water, and cruisers on the roads. We must expand our efforts to crack down on human trafficking and drug smuggling in Texas.

Greg Gianforte: Ban sanctuary cities in Montana to maintain rule of law

We must maintain the rule of law. Montana has the highest violent crime rate in the northwest. And we saw an 8% increase in violent crime last year, even as our nation saw a decline. Ladies and gentlemen, we are a nation of laws. That's why I support Representative Holmlund's bill to ban sanctuary cities in Montana.
