A member of a newly formed Texas border committee wants the Lone Star State to form an interstate compact to enable state authorities to enforce federal law and deport illegal aliens.

Texas state Sen. Bob Hall, a Republican whom Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, also a Republican, has appointed to the new committee, told The Epoch Times that Texas needs just one other state to form an interstate agreement for border security.
