Border residents wanted crossings reined in. Now Paxton and Talarico face voters wary of deportations

Border residents are increasingly concerned about the number of crossings and want the next state senator to take concrete action on immigration policy. With voters wary of potential deportations, the candidates Ken Paxton and Talarico are facing pressure to address these issues effectively. This matters because the border's security and the immigration debate have significant implications for local economies, communities, and national policies. The election could see a shift in how immigration is managed, affecting not just border towns but the entire state.
