From @KenPaxtonTX during @myushbc In Dialogue TEXAS
“We’ve got to make sure that we secure the border first, and if it gets unsecured then the rest of the deal is off.”
“We need to have a policy that benefits the Americans that are here, and that likely means that we have to let people in that can fulfill some of these jobs that we don’t have enough people for. Our birth population isn’t keeping up with demand.”
From @jamestalarico during @myushbc In Dialogue TEXAS
“I’m a border security Democrat.”
“I believe that we have to create more legal pathways for hardworking immigrants who want to come here and contribute to our economy... I also think a Texas based guest worker program could be a huge deal for the businesses in our state.”
80% of Texas Hispanic business owners say fuel and energy prices have hit their business. Affordability and the cost of energy is the #1 voting issue across Republicans, Democrats and Independents.

. @KenPaxtonTX on energy: “The key to energy production for us is really keeping government regulations limited. Right now permitting on pipelines and refineries takes sometimes decades... We need to change the permitting process where there are deadlines, where one agency answers and there’s not 12 agencies stopping something from going forward.”
From @myushbc In Dialogue Texas Sept. 28 (Fort Worth)
. @jamestalarico on energy: “I’m for an all the above energy strategy. That means protecting the good paying oil and gas jobs in Texas and protecting the good paying jobs in renewables... I support streamlining permitting processes for energy projects without compromising environmental protections.”
From @myushbc In Dialogue Texas Sept. 30 (Edinburg)
