States to be Reimbursed for Border Security Expenses
This bill 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. States that have spent over $2.5 billion on border security in the last ten years will receive reimbursement, potentially easing the tax burden on residents in those areas.
