Texas GOP Seeks $11B for Border Security

Texas Republicans, led by Senators Cornyn and Cruz and Representative Pfluger, are pushing for the federal government to release over eleven billion dollars for border security expenses. They argue this money is now available due to a new reimbursement fund created by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Texas, which spent eleven point one billion dollars over four years on border enforcement, is asking the departments to prioritize Texas in distributing these funds. However, not all Texas lawmakers agree, with Democrats calling the request a misuse of public money and questioning the need for a thorough audit. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story.
