Sen. Cornyn announces $11.1B federal reimbursement plan toward Texas border efforts
- On Thursday, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn introduced legislation aimed at reimbursing Texas and other states for expenses related to border security.
- The bill responds to Texas’ Operation Lone Star, created in 2021 by Gov. Greg Abbott amid increased illegal crossings attributed to Biden administration policies.
- Operation Lone Star involved building a border wall, marine barriers, and surging National Guard and law enforcement, funded solely by Texas taxpayers with no federal reimbursement.
- The bill would establish two funds in the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice, allocating over $11 billion through 2034 for border construction, detention, arrests, and intelligence support.
- If enacted, the legislation would compensate Texas for its significant border security efforts, which included detaining over 533,000 unauthorized individuals in a four-year span during one of the most severe border challenges faced in recent U.S. History.
