John Cornyn's Senate Speech on Texas Border Security and Operation Lone Star

Published | Video Starts at 13:15

I'm very thankful to President Trump and Secretary Noem for their leadership and ensuring that Americans and Texans once again are safe and secure. But the damage done by President Biden and his policies must be undone. It must be rectified. Congress must reimburse the state of Texas for the costs incurred fulfilling in for our then absentee president. I'll continue working with President Trump, Governor Abbott and the entire Texas delegation, as well as Senator John Thune and Speaker Johnson, ensure that this priority is included in the reconciliation bill.
