· Texas Border Business
Texas will receive $7.5 billion from the federal government to cover border security expenses, as announced by Governor Greg Abbott. This funding, approved by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, is part of the State Border Security Reinforcement Fund and is one of the largest reimbursements related to Operation Lone Star. Since its launch in March 2021, Texas has invested over $11 billion in border security, including deploying National Guard members and building barriers. Abbott claims the operation has reduced illegal crossings by more than 80%. The state is also seeking additional federal funds for border-related expenses.
