Texas · 89th Legislature Regular Session
HB5010Relating to the memorial designation of certain portions of an international border wall and the use of grants related to homeland security for those purposes.
Authorizes naming sections of a state-built border wall after victims of crimes by noncitizens and funds memorial markers for them using homeland security grants, which promotes and memorializes border wall construction as a response to illegal immigration.
This subchapter applies only to a border wall constructed by this state on land owned by this state on its international border with the United Mexican States.
Authorizes naming sections of a state-built border wall after victims of crimes by noncitizens and funds memorial markers for them using homeland security grants, which promotes and memorializes border wall construction as a response to illegal immigration.
The governor may allocate available federal and state grants and other funding related to homeland security to the Texas Facilities Commission for expenses incurred by the commission in designing, constructing, and maintaining memorial markers under Subchapter D, Chapter 2152.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a framework for memorializing portions of a state-constructed international border wall by naming them after victims of crimes committed by 'aliens' (defined by reference to the Penal Code) and dedicates homeland security grants to fund the associated markers and maintenance. This substantively addresses border security and immigration enforcement by promoting and commemorating physical barriers on the border with Mexico.
