Abbott has taken several measures to tighten the border in response to federal policies


The Biden administration is claiming that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's inspection of trucks entering the U.S. from Mexico is not only "unnecessary," but contributing to inflation throughout the country.

In a statement issued Wednesday morning, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that the delays caused by Abbott's policies were having far-reaching impacts.

"Governor Abbott’s unnecessary and redundant inspections of trucks transiting ports of entry between Texas and Mexico are causing significant disruptions to the food and automobile supply chains, delaying manufacturing, impacting jobs, and raising prices for families in Texas and across the country.," Psaki said.

I saw her lips moving again. That means more lies coming out of her face.

How else are the cartels supposed to move large numbers of human beings and drugs in and out of the country? That whole tunnel thing? So inefficient.

Not only that, but how are our political betters at the local, state, and federal levels supposed to continue their lavish lifestyles without that graft pouring in from that pyramid scheme of human trafficking?

They should take them to affluent neighborhoods. Let them see some of the impacts of illegals being dropped off in their communities.

Abbott to stop inspecting trucks in West Texas following concessions from Mexico​

Of the four Mexican states that border Texas, just Chihuahua and Nuevo Leon have worked with Abbott to stop the U.S. inspections. Governors from Tamaulipas and Coahuila reached out to Texas earlier this week and are in talks about ending the inspections pending cooperation, Abbott said Thursday.

Abbott announced the truck inspections April 6, days after the Biden administration said it would soon stop immediately expelling illegal immigrants who came across the southern border, a policy enacted when the coronavirus pandemic began two years ago. The inspections were meant to detect people or drugs being smuggled into the United States, though they duplicated federal inspections.

Troopers from the Texas Department of Public Safety were tasked with conducting safety checks on all trucks arriving in roughly two dozen locations up and down the state's border. Of the 2,685 trucks inspected by Sunday, 646 were placed out of service for "serious safety violations," including defective brakes, tires, and lighting, CNN reported.

Delays topped 10 hours by Tuesday as trucks were rerouted to other ports of entry, some hundreds of miles west, prompting criticism from lawmakers, including Republicans.
