Texas · 89th Legislature Regular Session
SB2453Relating 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 the state-built border wall after victims of crimes by 'aliens' (noncitizens) and funds memorial markers with homeland security grants, increasing the symbolic and practical emphasis on border barriers and immigration-related crimes.
A part of a border wall may be designated by the name of a person only if the person is deceased and was a victim of a crime, including a border-related crime, committed by a person who is an alien.
Allows allocation of federal and state homeland security grants to design, construct, and maintain memorial markers on the state-owned international border wall, supporting border infrastructure.
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 expands immigration enforcement by facilitating memorial naming and funding for portions of the Texas-Mexico border wall tied to crimes by noncitizens, using homeland security grants for border-related purposes.
