Another Republican takes hostages

The blockage is being caused by MEXICAN truckers...on the MEXICAN side of the border...blocking both northbound and southbound lanes.

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.

Governor Abbott said he reached a 'historic agreement' with Nuevo León Governor Samuel Alejandro García Sepulveda so that bridge traffic can return to normal in Nuevo Leon.​
Governor Abbott said that's due to an agreement with Governor Garcia Sepulveda to increase border security on the Mexican side of the border.​
Gov. Abbott says the Texas DPS will revert to normal random inspections at the border with Nuevo Leon only. Abbott said he would only agree to lift enhanced safety inspections at other ports of entry if Governors of other Mexican border states make similar agreements.​
Abbott said he looks forward to working with all of them.​
Abbott called for President Biden to maintain Title 42 and aggressively enforce Remain in Mexico. Abbott also called on Mexico's President to collaborate with Texas to end the influx of cartel activity from Mexico to Texas.​
Thanks for putting this thread out of it's misery early! (y)

Are you not listening? I dislike repeating myself. This has been answered here, just a few posts up.



Stay in Mexico worked, and simply because it was a Trump era policy, it got reversed. I'd say Biden needs to go back to using it (even if it means eating some crow to do so)

And again, if you don't like the mess that has been created by this administration, you can obsfuscate, distract, or hold them accountable. I see which one you've gone with so far, hopefully that changes. But make no mistake, the current border mess is all laid at the feet of the current administration. And now people are crying because the federal government refuses to do their job, so a Texan Governor had to.
Clearly you don’t believe in law or logic.
 
Abbott...new agreement with another Mexican State.


Texas Gov. Greg Abbott reached a deal with his Mexican counterpart in Chihuahua for a border security plan that will decrease inspections that have created a bottleneck at the ports of entry.

Abbott said the plan would prevent illegal immigration and drug smuggling, calling the deal the “best security border plan” he has seen from any Mexican governor during a press conference in Austin on Thursday.

“It will allow Chihuahua state police to track vehicles from the moment they leave an industrial park in Juarez (Mexico) until they cross the border into Texas. In addition, the state of Chihuahua is also incorporating technologies, such as drones, to patrol the border,” Abbott read from the border agreement.

Two more Mexican states to go. Abbott is getting the job done.
 
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.

I approve of Texas shutting off its own food supply.

So neither Abbott nor you has any use for the US Constitution whatsoever.

Good to know.
 
Tell me all about what you know about states rights, the federation of states, the Constitution.................... and then maybe we can have a reasonable debate.

Until then, your posts are horse shit.

Why do you hate the constitution and hold your oaths so cheaply?
