Mexican Governors, Abbott Ink Deals to Close New Texas Border Checkpoints

Ildefonso Ortiz and Brandon Darby 15 Apr 2022

Three Mexican governors signed an agreement with Texas Governor Greg Abbott and a fourth accord is imminent to end additional vehicle inspections at ports. The deals are contingent on Mexican authorities improving their security operations to curb human smuggling and drug trafficking.

On Friday afternoon, Tamaulipas Governor Francisco Cabeza de Vaca is expected to meet with Abbott to sign a deal between Texas and Tamaulipas, marking the fourth state in the collaboration. Earlier this week, the governors from Coahuila and Chihuahua agreed to set up security checkpoints, increase patrols, and other measures to better curb smuggling. The Governor of Nuevo Leon, Samuel Garcia Sepulveda, was the first to meet with Abbott.

The agreements come after Abbott sent state troopers to international ports of entry to carry out intensive inspections on trucks entering the country — in additional to the federal searches. The move was a part of a series of measures ordered in response to the Biden Administration’s plan to stop using Title 42 for removing migrants. According to various government officials and some border politicians, the end of Title 42 would cause a dramatic increase in human smuggling.

The mayor of McAllen posted a video and sent a letter to Biden asking him to reconsider keeping Title 42 due to the dramatic effect that it would have on his city.

Good job!

Texas is behaving the way the Founders intended.

States have the prerogative and obligation to act for the safety of their citizens.

This will work until the cartels join forces and attack all the "checkpoints"...

We'll see what happens but it's a step in the right direction. Joe and cronies certainly aren't going to defend that border.

Texas Gov. Abbott signs agreement with Nuevo Leon, Mexico to secure border

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) signed a historic agreement with the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon to increase border security. During a press conference on Wednesday, the Republican said under this deal law enforcement from Nueva Leon will patrol the border and Texas will stop inspections of their commercial vehicles.

This move came after Abbott ordered extra inspections of commercial trucks as part of his efforts to curb human trafficking and the flow of drugs into the country. Additionally, this deal includes the setup of security checkpoints and highways connecting both states.

    It's a slippery slope, Constitutionally~US not Texas but there's so much at stake right now in our Country. 
    I still think this is Abbott in campaign mode along with bussing illegals to DC.
