What this bill would do

The State Border Security Reimbursement Act of 2025 aims to reimburse states for expenses related to border security and enforcement. The bill states that border security is a Federal responsibility and that states have been forced to provide resources due to Federal failures. To qualify, a state must have spent more than $2,500,000,000 on these efforts over the ten years prior to the Act's enactment. Eligible states must submit an accounting of non-federally funded expenses and the total sum within 180 days. Once the application is submitted, the Federal Government is required to reimburse the expenses within one year.
