Bill overview
This bill proposes to reimburse states, primarily Texas, for significant investments they’ve made in border security. It aims to address the argument that states are effectively paying for federal border security responsibilities twice – once through their own budgets and again through federal funding. The bill requires states that have spent over $2.5 billion on border security in the past decade to submit an accounting of their expenses, which the federal government would then reimburse.
