As usual, you ignore the part that Mexico, their leaders and their truckers play in this."Economic fallout worsened Thursday even as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) moved incrementally to roll back new inspection rules for commercial trucks entering from Mexico, with some companies saying they aren’t able to fulfill orders because trucks are stuck in multi-mile backups at a number of entry points.
...Instituted in response to the Biden administration’s announcement that a pandemic-era impediment to immigration would be discontinued, Abbott’s state inspections caused thousands of trucks to back up for as much as eight miles at ports of entry. Trucks containing household goods, car parts and other shelf-stable goods have been delayed, tangling up supply chains that involve hundreds of thousands of jobs on both sides of the border. Multiday backups could lead much of the fruit and vegetable cargo to spoil, rendering it worthless.
Abbott, a two-term Republican up for reelection in November, has said he wants Mexican governors to reach individual agreements with him to increase safety inspection of trucks crossing the border. “This is sending a message to both the president and Congress: Texas is tired of being the unloading dock for illegal immigrants crossing the border. The new unloading dock is going to be Washington, D.C.,” Abbott said Thursday in Chihuahua."

This spectacle seems like a high price to pay just to "own the libs." But the right-wing has shown us time and time again, no price is too high.

You do realize that Texas' governor doesn't have the power to negotiate internationally, right?As usual, you ignore the part that Mexico, their leaders and their truckers play in this.
Folks, this is what spin and fake news looks like.
Do you support Abbott violating the constitution by entering into these agreements with Mexican governors?
Examples of compacts include the:
- Colorado River Compact (allocating water among seven western states),
- Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (a two-state compact),
- Multistate Tax Compact (whose membership includes 23 states and the District of Columbia),
- Interstate Oil and Gas Compact,
- Interstate Corrections Compact,
- Mutual Aid Compact,
- Great Lakes Basin Compact (to which the Canadian province of Ontario is a party along with various states), and
- Multi-State Lottery Compact (which operates the Powerball lotto game in numerous states).
I'll leave it up to the DOJ to decided if he's violating the constitution or not.Do you support Abbott violating the constitution by entering into these agreements with Mexican governors?
If you think so, you should demand the Biden pukes do something about it, don't you think?You do realize that Texas' governor doesn't have the power to negotiate internationally, right?

In recent decades, presidents have frequently entered the United States into international agreements without the advice and consent of the Senate. These are called "executive agreements." Though not brought before the Senate for approval, executive agreements are still binding on the parties under international law.
Congress can't even do that."Abbott, a two-term Republican up for reelection in November, has said he wants Mexican governors to reach individual agreements with him"
Has congress consented to these agreements Abbott is negotiating? Where are all the great defenders of the constitution?
Article I Section 10 | Constitution Annotated | Congress.gov | Library of Congress

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

Get rid of nuts like Abbott ...This whole trend of shutting down international borders when people can't get the political outcomes they want has gotta go.
But in the same breath they'll blame the $10 loaf of bread on Biden.No, they’ll pay $10 for a loaf of bread and sit glued to Fox News as the bus pulls up in front of their offices so the Fox “reporters“ hardly have to get out of their chairs to “report” the “news” that is being spoon fed to them to present to their audience.
