The blockage is being caused by MEXICAN truckers...on the MEXICAN side of the border...blocking both northbound and southbound lanes.The White House, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Mexican government and trucking groups said Wednesday that a new policy by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) was creating a multi-mile backup of commercial vehicles carrying perishable fruits, vegetables and other products. The policy forces trucks to submit to a state inspection after a federal inspection once they cross the border from Mexico. It quickly escalated into an international incident, with the Mexican government seeking help from the U.S. State Department and the White House blasting the Texas governor. There are also growing complaints about truckers stuck in their cabs for more than 30 hours without access to food, water, or places to bathe in temperatures that have breached 100 degrees.The delays have raised concerns that a U.S. economy already experiencing inflation and supply shortages could face an entirely new set of problems, potentially driving up prices on certain products and making other items even more scarce....“This isn’t a regional issue, or that the city of Laredo is not getting their produce at grocery stores,” said John Esparza, president of the Texas Trucking Association. “We are seeing delays that will be felt across the country. There are a half a dozen divisions of trucking [affected]. There’s the refrigerated segment of trucking, there’s household goods, forestry, fuel tankers, commodities for trade goods — this is about General Motors, Ford and everything coming out of Mexico, our trade partner.” Strawberries, asparagus, avocados, tomatoes and other spring favorites are sitting in lines of refrigerated trucks many miles long as growers and shippers scramble to reroute and grocers hustle to find products from elsewhere to avoid empty shelves in the run-up to the Easter and Passover holidays.
They are trying to dictate immigration policy to the administration. Specifically, that the administration misuse Title 42 - purportedly a health order - to deter people from following U.S. law to the letter by presenting at the border seeking asylum (in fact, they may present anywhere in the states even after being here unlawfully for up to a year).
As usual, they are doing it in their favorite underhanded way: taking Americans hostage. On top of everything else, they want to **** with a vast array of supply chains. Knowing the GOP, they'll blame Biden for every last bit of the damage they cause.

In any case, Abbott is following the example set by Trump when he was President and he forced Mexico to take steps to end the illegal alien caravans before they got to the US border. Trump made it in the best interest of Mexico to help out by bringing financial and economic pain. Abbott is doing the same...and it's working.

Why do you want Maggot Abbott to cause more problems for our supply chain?

Nice spin.
Why do you support a president that caused the gas hike and supply slow downs?
Your question is dismissed until you first answer my question.
Your question was partisan hack bull shit.
You didn't give a shit when Biden sent handouts to keep people home after liberal lockdowns.
International trade is a federal issue. The federal government has options if a state wants to block international trade out of spite.
More projection and dodging by RUSN.
Your OP was projection and you whine about perceived projection.
Typical you.
Not to worry. Texas will seek monies from the hated federal government.God bless Abbott.

Mexican truckers block key U.S. border crossings in protest of Texas governor's inspection mandate
I mean, seriously. Go back and look at @Mycroft's (inevitable mandatory posting slot #2 dump) gaslighting.
He's citing an article about how Abbott first took everyone affected by the border pile-up he created, then shifted that pile-up back to the Mexican side of the border to try to hide the more visible aspects of his anti-constitutional behavior.

And on that note - the anti-constitutional nature of attempting to enforce federal immigration law, which is subject to the pre-emption clause of the constitution - what in the hell is someone who says they served in the United States Navy is telling God to praise a politician who is shitting on that constitution?
A truckload of avocados isn't an illegal border crossing. It's just another piece of shit move by an asshole Republican governor.States have options for illegal border crossings generated by a sitting president as well.
