The imperative U.S. midterm elections are approaching and for many states, the situation along the U.S.-Mexico border is not among the chief concerns for their voters. However, the same cannot be said for the people of Texas, who live along the U.S.’ largest territorial border with its neighbor to the south.

While the border crisis has been at the forefront of U.S. domestic news, not many states have had to deal with the impact of the country’s migration policies. For Texans, these policies are directly affecting them and they are among the most important topics in the hotly contested election.
