GOP Leader Introduces Bombshell Border Bill – It’s a Perfect $4B ‘Thank You’ for Texas

Since Joe Biden entered office, millions of migrants have illegally entered the U.S. Republicans have accused Biden of deliberately letting the border get overwhelmed by migrants. And despite years of complaints and warnings, his DHS is ignoring the crisis.

It has been left to Texas—and Texas alone—to stop the massive flow of invaders. Recently, Republican governors from other states have begun to send support.

Now, one Republican lawmaker has come up with another way to support the Lone Star State. And he’s introduced legislation that could greatly support its efforts to control the border.

From Fox News:
A GOP House lawmaker has introduced a piece of legislation that aims to reimburse Texas for the nearly $4 billion in expenses it incurred to secure the southern border in recent years.

Titled the “Operation Lone Star Reimbursement Act,” the measure was introduced Thursday evening by Texas Republican Rep. Roger Williams and would, if successful, reimburse the state for the combined $3,726,400,000 it spent on activities related to securing the southern border from 2020 through 2023.

Rep. Roger Williams has introduced a bill that would reimburse Texas for the massive expense it has incurred defending the border. The bill would provide $4 billion in funds to cover the work Texas has put in to stop migrants from entering.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has called up the Texas National Guard to defend the border. He has erected barriers, walls, razor wire, and other measures to stop migrants from entering. The guardsmen have seized parks and other common entry points, denying even federal officials from entering.

From all appearances, Biden’s administration is working against Texas. They have cut down wire and escorted migrants into the country. Biden’s DHS and Border Patrol are processing migrants and releasing them into the country—instead of deporting them.

Only Texas seems to be trying to discourage illegal immigration. It has been moderately successful, but migrants continue to come in through Arizona (which has a liberal governor) and California.

Without federal support, the border will remain under siege. Millions of migrants have come through, with perhaps millions more just in this year alone.

Key Takeaways:

  • A Republican congressman wants to reimburse Texas for defending the border.
  • His bill would provide $4 billion to cover Texas’s expenses in fighting the border crisis.
  • The White House has refused to address the border crisis, as millions illegally enter.
