US EditionSen. Cornyn announces $11.1B federal reimbursement plan toward Texas border efforts
- On Thursday, Senator John Cornyn introduced legislation aimed at compensating Texas and other states for expenses related to border security efforts conducted since January 20, 2021.
- The bill responds to Texas' $11.6 billion Operation Lone Star, created in 2021 by Gov. Greg Abbott in reaction to Biden administration policies that increased illegal crossings.
- Operation Lone Star, funded solely by Texas taxpayers without federal reimbursement, deployed Texas National Guard, law enforcement, a border wall, and marine barrier system to secure the border.
- Over a span of four years, OLS officers detained upwards of 533,100 individuals crossing the border illegally and executed in excess of 53,400 arrests, while Cornyn criticized the Biden-Harris administration for failing to fulfill its federal responsibilities.
- If approved and signed, the bill would allocate $11 billion through September 30, 2034, to reimburse states via Department of Homeland Security and Justice funds supporting border enforcement.
