Sen. Tommy Tuberville: "We've gotta take the Panama Canal back. We've gotta do something because if we were to happen to go to war with China over Taiwan and they were to shut the Panama Canal down, we'd have to go 8 to 10,000 miles just to get things back to the war zone."

A 2006 study found undocumented immigrants contribute more than they cost Texas. The state hasn’t updated it since.
