Dreamers are our classmates, coworkers, neighbors, and friends. Making college more expensive for them doesn’t make Texas stronger. It makes opportunities harder to reach. When I get to Congress, I’ll fight for a system that treats Dreamers with dignity and gives every Texan a fair shot.

Gas was $2.55 in Texas in early February. Now it’s $4.52. That’s nearly $2 more a gallon because of Trump’s war with Iran, and working Texans are the ones paying the price at the pump. Texans need lower costs, not another reckless war, making life more expensive.
