“Before President Biden came to office, Texas spent $800 million every two years on border security, roughly $400 million a year. That means that Taxpayers are on the hook for nearly 14 times what they typically spent on border security due to the failure of the Biden administration. It wasn't just negligence. It was intentional. It was willful. Keeping our nation's borders secure is the responsibility of the federal government.
