Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Thursday urged landowners along the border to report any damage that has been done by illegal immigrants who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border in recent months.

I strongly encourage Texas landowners along the border to report any personal property damages they incur due to unlawful immigration,” the governor said, “by completing the Self Reporting Damage Survey, our state will be equipped with the necessary data to continue addressing the ongoing crisis at our southern border and provide the support our landowners and communities need to stay safe and secure.”
