Mexico reroutes trade to New Mexico
Gov. Greg Abbott's days-long inspection of commercial trucks entering Texas from Mexico cost the state an estimated $4.2 billion in economic damage. The political fiasco also boosted business in Santa Teresa, New Mexico.
When the lengthy inspections stalled commercial traffic, many trucks re-routed to the border crossing at Santa Teresa. This prompted Mexico to announce a planned trade connection that will go through New Mexico instead of Texas. The expansion is called the T-MEC Corridor which will connect the port of Mazatlan to Winnipeg, Canada.
"We're now not going to use Texas," said Mexican Economy Minister Tatiana Clouthier at a conference in Mexico City. "We can't leave all the eggs in one basket and be hostages to someone who wants to use trade as a political tool."

I'll defer to people in Texas but reading about this it just seemed like a dumb *ss move on Abbot's part and now this is the payback they receive. There's one thing that is bi-partisan, when politicians do things for show to fire up their hard core base there is often (negative) repercussions.

This was a really stupid move on Abbot’s part!
