Operation Lone Star Needs To Be Audited

Billions of taxpayer dollars have been thrown at the border, and immigration is at an all-time high. Where did all of that money go?

Over the last week, the Texas House and the Texas Senate held hearings regarding giving Greg Abbott another $1.5 billion for “border security.” Some startling revelations came up during these hearings.

Here’s what we learned:

Billions of dollars have been given to Greg Abbott’s office without accounting or transparency.

Texas taxpayers have already footed a $10 billion bill for border security.

Only 12 miles of border wall has been built.

Abbott spent $125 million on bussing asylum seekers out of Texas.

We’ve given out construction contracts, but no one knows what has already been done.
