Today, Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush and Governor Greg Abbott said construction of the border wall on government-owned lands in Starr County had begun.

Bush and Abbott’s announcement was made at the same location where Bush announced late last month that the General Land Office (GLO) and Department of Public Safety (DPS) had reached an agreement to begin construction on the proposed wall.

Bush thanked Abbott for supporting the wall’s construction, and called it an important safety measure for Texas.
