With Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s signature as the final piece for House Bill 11 to be amended now completed the efforts during the 84th legislature to bolster the ranks of state police on the border is one step closer to fruition. “Here in Houston, there are more than 20,000 dangerous gang members that are associated with cross border traffic-related crime.” Said Governor Abbott as he was asked about one of his many reasons for signing the bill. 310 million dollars will immediately be spent on the border security effort when the bill takes effect but is only a part of the 800 million dollar budget all going to the expenses of just securing the border while other expenses being used by the bill will be taken from the 4.1 billion dollar budget over the next two years. Border Democrats have argued with lawmakers over the lack of transparency concerning the state police force receiving large amounts of funding and power provided by the bill. Many who were opposed of increased spending on border security demanded the Department of Public Safety to provide statistics on the massive border surge connected to the flood of undocumented immigrants that occurred last summer. Though the department only released data pertaining on apprehensions and drug seizures performed by the local and federal police. “According to Jeh Johnson [Department of Homeland Security Secretary], who spoke here in Houston, Texas yesterday, we still have more than 25,000 people come across the border illegally…

US” type of place since I ate my first meal and sipped my first drink. An invisible battled seem to rave on between the races. As a child I often wondered where this invisible battle occurred? Where was it located ? This battle lied in between our perspectives. My previous interactions with indirect and direct racism led me to see Austin as place of segregation and inequality. The early days of Austin had been entrenched in a social divide from the city’s layout to the school system. The…

The idea of building a railway system between downtown San Antonio and Austin was fantasized by people for years but never got the funding it needed follow through. Another thing about it is that with all the construction it would slow the flow of traffic even more and at the rate of people moving in the idea of upgrades would be pointless. “There has been a growing recognition that Interstate 35, regardless of the many proposed upgrades, will not ever be capable of efficiently moving people in…

right activist and First Lady. The early to middle life of Michelle Obama had a strong impact on her call to change.

blasphemy to call into question the moniker of Stephen F. Austin as “The Father of Texas”. Austin is created with the first 300 Anglo Settlers to Texas and considered one of the greatest heroes of the Texas Revolution. It is difficult to envision a historical textbook without folkloric passages about the deeds of Stephen F. Austin and how he shaped the history of Texas from a Spanish Colony to American Statehood. While Sam Houston proclaimed that “The Father of Texas is no more!” upon the news…
