WASHINGTON — Congressman Ronny Jackson (TX-13) reintroduced the Reimbursing Border Communities Act of 2025 to help border communities recover from the damage caused by the Biden-Harris administration's disastrous open border policies. Specifically, the bill would establish a grant program within the Department of Homeland Security where border communities can apply to be reimbursed for security measures they were forced to implement to mitigate the historic flow of illegal aliens during the previous administration.

“During President Trump’s first term, our country was safe, and our southern border was secure, but Joe Biden and Kamala Harris allowed millions of illegal migrants to flow into our country, leaving our border communities to deal with the chaos, crime, and devastation that followed,” said Rep. Ronny Jackson. “While President Trump is thankfully re-securing our country, unfortunately, our border communities are still facing the consequences of the previous, failed administration, which is why my bill to restore those communities must be passed soon.”

Cosponsors include Representatives Monica De La Cruz (TX-15), Dan Crenshaw (TX-02), Morgan Luttrell (TX-08), Jake Ellzey (TX-06), August Pfluger (TX-11), Lance Gooden (TX-05), Brian Babin (TX-36), Brandon Gill (TX-26), Pete Sessions (TX-17), and Paul Gosar (AZ-09).
