Well maybe if right wingers didn't come up with stupid ****ing ideas to do so, then they wouldn't get blocked.

It's stupid to secure the border? Dumb thought noted.

2 or 3? More like 12-13. Yes, Dems block it but I don't know why you think Republicans actually want immigration reform. It's a great wedge issue for them and campaign $$$ maker. I'd love to see a Republican propose some logical immigration reform instead of just getting behind stupid ideas like "build a wall".

I just provided you information that showed walls help. Not sure why you continue to think that is stupid.

Anybody want to take a bet on how long Abbott keeps this stunt going? Unlike the DC truck protests, this one will affect your dinner table.

Commercial traffic at a key South Texas border crossing has stopped after Mexican truckers on Monday blocked north- and southbound lanes on the Mexico side of the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge in protest of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision to have state troopers inspect northbound commercial vehicles — historically a job done by the federal government.

The bridge connecting Pharr and Reynosa is the busiest trade crossing in the Rio Grande Valley and handles the majority of the produce that crosses into the U.S. from Mexico, including avocados, broccoli, peppers, strawberries and tomatoes. On Monday, with trucks backed up for miles in Reynosa for the fifth day in a row, some produce importers in Texas said they have waited days for their goods to arrive and already had buyers cancel orders.

“One of our customers canceled the order because we didn’t deliver on time,” said Modesto Guerra, sales manager for Sterling Fresh Inc., which imports broccoli from Central Mexico via the Pharr bridge before shipping it to the Midwest and East Coast. “It’s something beyond our control.”

Commercial traffic at the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge stopped Monday and a similar protest affected traffic into and out of El Paso. The blockades could impact the flow of produce to restaurants and grocery stores.

Anything the Republicans can do that will make Inflation worse, they will do it. They dont give a f**k about the country. They just want to make Biden look bad at all costs.
