    Texas Governor Abbott Seeks $11.1 Billion Reimbursement for Border Security Under Operation Lone Star, Citing Biden's Policies

    14 postsTexasPoliticsUnited States

    Texas Governor Greg Abbott has formally requested that the U.S. Congress reimburse the state for over $11.1 billion spent on border security operations since 2021 under Operation Lone Star. This initiative was launched in response to what Abbott describes as the Biden administration's failure to enforce federal immigration laws and its open-border policies, which he claims led to an unprecedented infiltration by violent criminals, known terrorists, and other hostile foreign actors like the dangerous Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. Abbott's letters to congressional leaders and the Texas congressional delegation emphasize that the costs, borne by Texas taxpayers, should have been the responsibility of the federal government. The request follows discussions with U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson about the ongoing border crisis and efforts to address it. Abbott highlighted that Operation Lone Star efforts have successfully reduced illegal immigration into Texas by 87%.
