State Border Security Reimbursement Act: Federal Funds for State Expenses
This act aims to reimburse states, like Texas, for money spent on border security. Citizens in these states have been effectively taxed twice for security, which is primarily a federal responsibility. If passed, this could reduce the financial burden on residents of these states.
