People keep posting that BS about spending 400 million, where is the break down, I would bet someone added up the law enforcement budget for border communities and counties

That's a bet you'd lose...

95 percent of Texas border security funds flow to the Texas Department of Public Safety and is used for operations and overtime for state and law enforcement officers, surveillance aircraft, and technology to expand intelligence centers.

The remainder goes to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for patrol boats on the Rio Grande and at Lake Falcon.

Four million was used to hire prosecuters for border related crime. source PolitiFactsTexas - Austin American Statesman

Just like I said, it is the damn budget, and has nothing to do with getting spent on illegals.
