Texas landowners demand federal funds for property damage from migrants: 'We have heard nothing'

South Texans’ Property Rights Association Executive Director Susan Kibbe said on Wednesday that damage to property from the migrant surge calls for federal aid “because it’s the federal government’s job to secure the border.”

Kibbe's comments came after Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, met with local leaders in Del Rio, Texas to discuss how the migrant surge is impacting the community.

At the meeting, landowners raised concerns that their property has been affected by the migrant surge and the issue is being overlooked. The South Texans’ Property Rights Association said landowners have experienced property damage and worker shortages.
