“We have financed 24 billion US dollars to make the biggest investment in the coast guard in our country's history,” he said. “To put this in the right light, the annual budget of the coast guard is around 12 billion US dollars. In this one invoice we invest more than 200% of your annual budget.”

The coast guard is a branch that holds Cruz nearby. He said while he was in the land of Texas Hill after the fatal floods, he experienced incredible heroism of members of the coast guard – including Scott Ruskin, from exactly here in Corpus Christ.

“When I visited him, he had just talked to a mother and father and with a little girl who cried and said to him:” You saved our daughter's life. “She was afraid of her thoughts and she kept her in her arms.

According to the “Big Beautiful Bill” law, around 24 billion US dollars are assigned to the coast guard for equipment, infrastructure and cyber security for the coast guard.

“You have the tools and the equipment you need to do your work and make it more effective,” he said. “You look at a large part of the equipment of the coast guard – it is out of date. Many of the helicopters, many of the ships are old and approach the end of their usable life. So this is a great investment to give you the modernized equipment that is now being built and will have a long life.”
