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.
