Texas Holds Up Truck Traffic to Change Mexico’s Migration Politics
Breitbart ^ | 9 Apr 2022 | NEIL MUNRO

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) is choking truck traffic across the U.S.-Mexico border to get Mexico’s government to help block the migrant flood invited by President Joe Biden’s border chief, says Todd Bensman, a Texas-based expert at the Center for Immigration Studies.

“If Texas wants to back those trucks up severely, they can do it as much as they want,” Bensman told Breitbart News.

The point is to get governors and mayors in northern Mexico where the maquiladoras [oursourced U .S outsourcing factories] are, to start complaining to [Mexican President Andrés Manuel López] Obrador, and Obrador is then going to complain to the American ambassador. Then it’s going to go to the State Department, and then Biden is going to have to do something.

Bensman posted a video of the resulting cross-border traffic jams on Friday afternoon

Keep thinking outside the box, TEXAS.

Sooner or later, someone will get the message.

California will probably stop screening trucks to increase their throughput to make up for it.

Good for Greg Abbott, for fighting this. It would nice if AZ and NM joined in.

Tough Petey, Three Texas State Troopers did this at the nation’s busiest land port today- Laredo Bridge 4. Same thing at Pharr-Reynosa port and El’Paso-Juarez bridge. Jason Jones shot vid and droned up. line went for “miles and miles and miles” “Hey Mexico, feel like policing your side yet?

I'd call it an inverse Cloward-Piven - sending the illegal immigrants to DC. I would include special instructions, in Spanish, to help them maximize their draw on local public welfare forms that either have no federal component or minimal federal components. Use the influx to burn down the budgets of Democratic jurisdictions. Bury DC, Delaware, Illinois, NY state in these folks. But get DNA samples and other biometric identification of them first.

THIS is what we want to see.
I officially retract my derogatory
views of Gov. Abbott, and offer my
Sincere Mea Copa, Mea Copa!
GO ABBOTT; GO TEXAS!

Saw Benson, on War Room, this a.m.

Says he’s not sure how long Abbott will hold up, to the pressure of these trucking companies.

The drone footage, of the truck backlog traffic, into Meheeco, goes for miles and miles.

So glad to see this. Ball them up.
The same should be done on our northern
border states, but alas, most of them
are as blue as their lips. Truckers can
bring this country to it’s knees, if
only they could unite for the common
cause of American freedoms.

Probably most people will receive it at the grocery store.

********

Other types will be influenced also. Lots of goods come across
that border and it will impact the USA economy in due time if
this boycott continues.
