BETO O'ROURKE RESPONDS TO GOVERNOR'S SECURITY AGREEMENTS
Democrat Beto O'Rourke, who is running against Abbott for governor in November, says the security agreements between Texas and neighboring Mexican states are tools used to score "political points" and that people aren't falling for it.
“Abbott is the arsonist who torched the Texas economy by shutting down trade with Mexico to score cheap political points. He’s responsible for the inflation it’s caused and the businesses he’s hurt," O'Rourke said in a statement. "Now he wants credit for putting out the fire by announcing these ridiculous 'security agreements.' Texans aren’t buying it and we'll never forget the chaos Abbott has caused to our economy and our border communities.”

GOV. ABBOTT'S POLICY DRAWS BI-PARTISAN CRITICISM
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, a Republican who has urged Abbott to walk back the inspections order, said Thursday one major agricultural company told him that 100 trucks sent to Mexico for deliveries have been unable to come back across because of the congestion.
He questioned what the holdout achieved, and in the case of Abbott’s agreement with Nuevo Leon, said it did not appear substantive.
“They’re just basically going to leave it up in good faith,” Miller said. “There’s no enforcement, no reckoning on that if they don’t.”
“Typically in the winter months, a lot of our produce, fresh fruits, vegetables, tropical fruit, come from Mexico and Central America. So those are not getting through. They are rotting on the truck," Miller said, adding he hopes an end to the delays comes soon.
The White House, the Mexican government, trade groups and reeling businesses have bashed the extra inspections as redundant and a new burden on an already fragile supply chain.

So Abbott fucked everything up by imposing extra inspections in the first place that only slowed down the SUPPLY CHAIN!
Then he walked it all back with these new agreements because of the Flack he is receiving from both parties in an election year with him on the ballot!
Whoopty do ABBOTT!

Wow. He's doing what the State Dept. (basically Brandon) should be doing but isn't. Good for him, but it sure makes Brandon look
not State but DHS.
DHS of course is for open borders, and the end of Title 42 means BP will never be able to turn anyone back unless they have a US criminal record
Note the cooperation from the Mexican governors. Abbot was slowing down commercial traffic with extra inspections coming in from Mexico This is only Texas, whereas Trump got REMAIN agreed to by Obrador for the entire country. Trtump used tariffs for a stick -Abbot the inspections. they both worked
