The Greatest Problems Facing the State of Texas

There are some really serious and critical issues which are present in Texas that needs to be addressed by the legislation but probably they will not address those issues because either the legislation cannot control them or the issues are too big to handle. There are various issues in Texas that are going out of hand and the State must do something in order to fix those issues. The healthcare system and education in Texas are nearing crisis, tuitions fee of colleges and the home insurances process are sky high and also the immigration issue and water issue are some of the growing and concerning issues in the recent past ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"2RcDgK5I","properties":{"formattedCitation":"({\\i{}Ten Ways To Fix Texas \\uc0\\u8211{} Texas Monthly})","plainCitation":"(Ten Ways To Fix Texas – Texas Monthly)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1447,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/7JT7DH6I"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/7JT7DH6I"],"itemData":{"id":1447,"type":"webpage","title":"Ten Ways To Fix Texas – Texas Monthly","URL":"https://www.texasmonthly.com/politics/ten-ways-to-fix-texas/","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",4,11]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Ten Ways To Fix Texas – Texas Monthly).

Among these immigration and border security are bigger issues for the people of Texas, if a person asks any individual about the growing issues then the eyes of these people will turn towards the border security between Mexico and Texas and the immigration policies. Although these issues were previously present but today both of these issues have increased and now more people are concerned about them. In the Northern and Southern border of Texas, they face various challenges because every single day number of people cross the border in order to find better living and also employment opportunities, through the border, various transitional criminals try to smuggle in weapons and other drugs, extremists who want to disrupt the daily life of the State and also human trafficking to name a few of the threats who cross the border and pose threat to the sovereignty of the State. These immigrants come in Texas and then the State is braced for an expected surge in refuge seeker. Due to all these reasons, it is important to have strict rules on immigration and also to build a boundary wall. Although till date the total number of unidentified illegal laws are not yet known it is quite clear that it will create a problem for the US government, defense authorities and also the policymakers. Therefore for the citizens of Texas, it is one of the growing concern which needs to be addressed as soon as possible ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"REyAXXMk","properties":{"formattedCitation":"({\\i{}Ten Ways To Fix Texas \\uc0\\u8211{} Texas Monthly})","plainCitation":"(Ten Ways To Fix Texas – Texas Monthly)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1447,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/7JT7DH6I"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/7JT7DH6I"],"itemData":{"id":1447,"type":"webpage","title":"Ten Ways To Fix Texas – Texas Monthly","URL":"https://www.texasmonthly.com/politics/ten-ways-to-fix-texas/","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",4,11]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Ten Ways To Fix Texas – Texas Monthly).

Another growing and serious issue for the people of Texas is the issue of water because the citizens of Texas are working hard to manage and safeguard their water resources. This issue became quite serious after Hurricane Harvey and after this incident, the States across the United States of America focused on how to manage the water resources. Tackling this issue is not a simple one because of Texas in one of the rapidly growing populations in the entire United States of America. Although this growth is positive for the economy and for the local infrastructure of the country but at the same time it creates challenges and also problems when it comes to managing the critical infrastructure like water. Growing population and more people means that government officials need more water in order to sustain the quality of life. Water is one of the serious issues because there are various issues and diseases that are caused due to the consumption of contaminated water which further pressurizes the healthcare facilities ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"ojT544rR","properties":{"formattedCitation":"({\\i{}Water in Texas: Top Five Issues We Need to Solve Now})","plainCitation":"(Water in Texas: Top Five Issues We Need to Solve Now)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1451,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/LSJJNII8"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/LSJJNII8"],"itemData":{"id":1451,"type":"webpage","title":"Water in Texas: Top five issues we need to solve now","URL":"https://www.aecom.com/without-limits/article/water-in-texas-top-5-issues-we-need-to-solve-now/","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",4,11]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Water in Texas: Top Five Issues We Need to Solve Now).

Apart from these issues, there is some political instability which is a severe problem for the overall growth of Texas and also for the well being of its citizens. It is a known fact that Texas is a great place to start a new business because here the taxes are very low, regulation in this State is high and also the government is an active supporter of business growth. Having said that Texas is also a terrible place to start a new business because of the corruption in the public officials. It is noteworthy that Dark money is growing rampant in Texas. In the entire politics of Texas dark money is so entrenched that now people believe that in order to stay in politics in Texas it is important to stay evil and maybe in Texas in order to hold a public office it is required to be corrupt ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"c62qZ3v7","properties":{"formattedCitation":"({\\i{}Why Is Public Corruption So Common in South Texas?})","plainCitation":"(Why Is Public Corruption So Common in South Texas?)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1449,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/ZCVSQA5B"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/ZCVSQA5B"],"itemData":{"id":1449,"type":"webpage","title":"Why Is Public Corruption So Common in South Texas?","URL":"https://www.governing.com/topics/politics/gov-public-corruption-crystal-city-texas.html","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",4,11]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Why Is Public Corruption So Common in South Texas?).

All of these problems are some of the most prominent issues in Texas at this moment the issue of immigration and border security is quite crucial for the security of not only Texas but the overall country. The illegal immigration from the border of Mexico was a growing concern for the government officials because there are a lot of illegal immigration and also there were chances that extremists would cross that border therefore in the recent past President Trump ordered to build a border between US and Mexico which will ultimately reduce the chances of illegal immigration and ultimately will make the country secure against illegal immigration. The water issue and corruption are also some of the growing concern for the Texas people because they are linked with the well being and also progress of the State, in order to resolve these issues it is important to design policies with public consensus and then to implement the laws without further delaying them. Educating and spreading awareness among people is another important strategy that should be done by government officials. Although it is not possible to fix these problems overnights but with the right policies, spreading awareness and also by taking the right steps it is possible to fix them in the coming years.
