NEW: GovAbbott announced the end of mandatory inspections of all commercial trucks entering Texas from Mexico after getting Mexican governors from four states to accede to his demands that they significantly boost border security.
State troopers will stop inspecting all incoming trucks entering the country following nine days of mandatory safety checks of all tractor-trailers.
The declaration is significant, as it represents Abbott effectively bypassing the federal government to make his own deals with foreign officials, while the Biden administration takes a more passive approach to getting Mexico to do more at the border as the crisis heads into a second year unabated. "Texas has now entered into border security enhancement agreements with Mexican governors of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Chihuahua, and Nuevo Leon," Abbott said during a press conference in Weslaco, Texas."I understand the concern that businesses have about trying to move products across the bridge, but I also know the anger that Texans face and have that's caused by Joe Biden not securing the border.
