AUSTIN (KXAN) — U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) said his provision to reimburse Texas for money spent on border security was included in the Senate’s One Big Beautiful Bill.
The Senate Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs recently released the legislative text for the bill.
“I was proud to lead this push in the Senate, and I look forward to voting for the One Big Beautiful Bill with this border security reimbursement for Texas included in the coming weeks,” Cornyn said.
According to Cornyn’s office, Texas had spent more than $11 billion of taxpayer dollars on Operation Lone Star for border security.
“This is a win for Governor Abbott and the Texas Republican congressional delegation, who I worked with closely to ensure this reimbursement was made a priority,” Cornyn said.
