Renewed Texas truck inspections at Matamoros-Brownsville crossing are once again delaying freight at the border, Mexico says texasnews
Mexico’s Economy Department called on Texas to stop the stepped-up inspections, which began May 8, and said Mexico will take up the issue in the Trade Facilitation Committee of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement.
The dispute echoes a similar move by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in 2022 that caused massive traffic backups along the border. Abbott has claimed such inspections are meant to stop the smuggling of migrants and drugs, but in 2022 inspectors didn’t report finding any, though they did spot some safety issues.
Mexico’s position is that drugs and migrant smuggling are issues for federal law enforcement, not states.“The imposition of these inspections is creating millions in losses for both Mexican and U.S. firms,” the Economy Department said in a statement, adding the delays “mainly affect perishable goods.”
