Texas Republicans in Congress are supporting Governor Greg Abbott's plea for the state to be paid back billions of dollars for its efforts to prevent illegal immigration. U.S. Representative Dan Crenshaw, R-Kingwood, proposed a bill to reimburse states like Texas that have tried to secure the border on their own.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) wants Congress to reimburse his state for more than $11 billion spent on border security since the start of the Biden administration.
