Texas Works Around Biden to Get Border Security Agreements With Three Mexican States
avatar By BOB DANE  April 15, 2022 No Comments

Governors of three Mexican states have signed agreements to bolster border security in exchange for Texas ramping down truck inspections that were backing up commercial traffic for miles.

A Memorandum of Understanding, signed by Texas and Nuevo León on Wednesday, says the states will collaborate to ensure northbound vehicles meet safety standards, and stop migrants from heading to the Texas-Mexico border. Governors of the states of Chihuahua and Coahuila quickly followed suit, signing their agreements with Texas on Thursday.

Texas’ “enhanced” safety inspections had triggered hours-long delays of vehicles coming into Laredo, the busiest land port on the southern border. The Texas Tribune quoted the state Department of Public Safety (DPS) as saying nearly 25 percent of 4,133 northbound commercial vehicles “were placed out of service for serious safety violations to include defective brakes, defective tires and defective lighting.”
