Supply chain crisis in one picture

Rotting fruit, spoiled vegetables: How Texas just made the supply chain even worse

San Francisco (CNN) A weeklong protest by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott against President Biden's recent immigration policy reached a resolution on Friday, but the gridlock it created has resulted in hundreds of millions of lost dollars and delays in shipments of everything from avocados to automobile parts that will have a longer-term impact.

On Friday, Abbott reversed course on an order he put in place last week that required lengthier "enhanced safety inspections" of commercial vehicles entering Texas. The efforts, he said, were to help stop the flow of illegal contraband and human trafficking.

Abbott's move, which Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller criticized as "political theater," ultimately created a logjam of trucks between the US and its largest goods trading partner. Vegetable producers say their produce is spoiling in idling trucks and they are losing hundreds of millions of dollars.

Greg Abbott’s border stunts show the GOP doesn’t want to fix immigration!
 
With the world going to hell in a hand basket for three years, Abbott decided to throw bombs and see how much more he could mess up. He accomplished nothing but theater. Notice Democrats have tried to fix things for the last few years, but Republicans have just tried to make things worse.

And exactly how have the Democrats tried to fix immigration? Remind me.
 
And what did Abbot do to cause it two years ago Einstein.

Certainly more than Biden. Abbot was at least a governor, while Biden was a private citizen when things went wrong.

There were some bad decisions, but also things just went wrong. Much of it was completely beyond the control of trump... But it was trump as president.
