Yesterday we told you how Governor Greg Abbott made a deal with the Mexican border state of Nuevo León to increase vehicle inspections on the Mexican side to stop human smuggling and get the border moving again.
This began with increased inspection Abbott announced last week in the wake of Biden’s CDC getting rid of Title 42 expulsions, which will make illegal immigration much worse than it already is, if that’s even possible.
Well today another Mexican state has made a similar border agreement with Texas Governor Greg Abbott to prevent human smuggling across the southern border.
Chihuahua Gov. María Eugenia Campos Galván signed the agreement with Governor Abbott this evening.
Here’s more from the NY Post:
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott reached a deal with his Mexican counterpart in Chihuahua for a border security plan that will decrease inspections that have created a bottleneck at the ports of entry.
Abbott said the plan would prevent illegal immigration and drug smuggling, calling the deal the “best security border plan” he has seen from any Mexican governor during a press conference in Austin on Thursday.
“It will allow Chihuahua state police to track vehicles from the moment they leave an industrial park in Juarez (Mexico) until they cross the border into Texas. In addition, the state of Chihuahua is also incorporating technologies, such as drones, to patrol the border,” Abbott read from the border agreement.
Thursday’s deal impacts the four international bridges in El Paso, Texas — the largest border city in the Lone Star State.
The deal struck on Thursday only applies to ports of entry in Texas that border the state of Chihuahua. Yesterday, Abbott signed a similar deal with the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon.
Abbott says the other two Mexican states on the border have also contacted him and he’ll be meeting with them tomorrow for, hopefully, similar agreements:
“My office and the Texas Secretary of State have also been contacted by border issues by the Mexican states of Tamaulipas and Coahuila and after this meeting, I will be meeting with the governor from, Coahuila, and I look forward to meeting with the governor from Tamaulipas which could occur as soon as tomorrow where we will be working to similar results,” Abbott said.
Agreements with the states of Tamaulipas and Coahuila would free the entire Texas border with Mexico of Texas secondary inspections and return business travel in Texas to normal.
I love that Abbott is doing what he can to secure the border. If Biden weren’t such a horrible president none of this would be necessary.
