Gov. Greg Abbott announced that Texas will stop the controversial inspections of cargo trucks that have snarled border traffic at just one international border crossing.
. The Mexican inspections are taking 30 minutes compared to the 45 to 60 minutes the Texas Department of Public Safety inspections are taking, the outlet reported.
. In subsequent days, commercial traffic across the Pharr International Bridge in Pharr, the Anzalduas Bridge in McAllen and Progreso Bridge in Progreso has been halted in both directions by angry Mexican truckers protesting the examinations. “It is he who implemented these inspections, and even though we’re all for public safety, we just don’t see the correlation between the DPS inspection and border security,” Villalobos said. “No matter what, commerce and trade cannot be stopped.”
“The ultimate way to end the clogged border is for President Biden to do his job and to secure the border,” Abbott said. “If you want relief from the clogged border, you need to call President Biden and tell him to maintain the Title 42 policy that has been in place for years.”
