Sid Miller voted to give in-state tuition to illegal immigrants, putting them ahead of hardworking American families here legally. As Governor Abbott and Republican leaders delivered record border security funding, over $10 billion to defend Texas, Sid Miller attended a “Friendship Exchange” with Mexican officials and stated: “If we’re going to build a wall, Mexico needs some input.”

BIOSECURITY IS BORDER SECURITY

When the Border Threat Turned Real, Commissioner Sid Miller Chose Headlines Over Action. When the deadly New World Screwworm began moving north toward Texas, threatening to devastate livestock, wildlife, and even pets, experts warned the impact could reach $1.8 billion in losses.

Instead of preparing Texas for the threat, Sid Miller waited too long, promoted a gimmick “bait plan,” and then blamed President Trump’s USDA when it failed. Federal officials fired back, publicly rebuking Miller for wasting time and ignoring proven science, saying his traps were “ineffective” and his tactics “blatantly disregarded tried-and-true strategies.” While the Trump team advanced a $750 million biosecurity initiative on the southern border to stop the parasite, Miller chased headlines instead of solutions. It’s a reminder that border security is food security, and Sid Miller failed at both.
