Bill 119 HR 1222, also known as the "Texas Border Security Reimbursement Act," aims to provide reimbursement to the State of Texas for expenses incurred in securing the southern international border of the United States. The bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to border security. The State of Texas has been actively involved in efforts to secure the southern border, including deploying resources and personnel to address issues such as illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and human smuggling.

The bill does not specify the exact amount of reimbursement that Texas would receive, but it does outline the types of expenses that would be eligible for reimbursement. These expenses may include costs related to personnel, equipment, infrastructure, and other resources used in border security efforts. In addition to providing reimbursement to Texas, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to border security. These provisions may include measures to enhance coordination between federal and state agencies, improve information sharing, and strengthen border security operations. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1222 aims to support the State of Texas in its efforts to secure the southern border and address the challenges posed by illegal immigration and other border-related issues. It represents a bipartisan effort to provide financial assistance to states that are actively engaged in border security activities.
