Urging the federal government to take immediate action in addressing issues related to security at the border.
SCR 39 is a Texas Senate Concurrent Resolution expressing the state's position on border security. It criticizes the federal government's border policies, noting Texas spent $11 billion on its own border security efforts (Operation Lone Star) due to perceived federal inaction. The resolution formally urges the federal government to take immediate action, including increased resources and reimbursement for Texas's costs, and requests that it be entered into the Congressional Record. This is a non-binding expression of state position, not a law creating new policy.
