A week after Sept. 11, 2001, I spoke with a disaster-response expert about terrorist targets in Texas. The Houston Ship Channel, "with all those refineries," was his first reply. How to protect it? He said: "You tell me."
In December 2020 Forbes magazine published an article by David Blackmon addressing the vulnerability of offshore oil and gas infrastructure to criminal and terrorist attack.

Exhibit 2: Gov. Greg Abbot's Operation Lone Star. The official description: "directing state military and police resources to the border to aid local and federal authorities in fighting the smuggling of people and drugs across the border."
Texas has a 1,254-mile border with Mexico.
On Sept. 17 Abbott secured $2 billion more in state border defense funding.
After signing the bill Abbott said: "It is the federal government's job to secure our border, but the Biden administration has failed to do its job, so Texas is stepping up to do what the federal government is supposed to do."
For the record, Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, has written a national bill very similar to the Campbell-Parker bill. Good on you, Congressman Roy.
