Trump Signs Law Including Funds to Reimburse State Border Costs
· Texas Border Business
On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump enacted the "One Big Beautiful Bill," which allocates approximately $13.5 billion to reimburse states and local governments for immigration and border-related expenses incurred since January 21, 2021. Texas is expected to receive a substantial portion of these funds due to its significant spending on border security, particularly through Operation Lone Star, which Governor Greg Abbott estimates has cost over $11.1 billion. While the law does not specify the amount Texas will receive, state officials aim to recover the full cost of their border enforcement efforts.
