"they just have to go 14 miles further and cross in a different place"

A Mexican governor promised Wednesday to deploy his own police to secure the U.S.-Mexico border and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he’ll cancel some of the enhanced commercial traffic inspections that had clogged the ports of entry into the state.
Nuevo Leon Gov. Samuel Alejandro Garcia Sepulveda said that means checkpoints on his side of the border, and his police patrolling the Rio Grande, to turn back illegal activity.
“Our 14-kilometer border with Texas be continuously patrolled by our police,” he said in a meeting with Mr. Abbott.
Mr. Abbott said Texas officials have verified that the new checks are working.
“The report I received last night … said they observed no activity crossing the river whatsoever, during the timespan they observed it,” the governor said.
Mr. Abbott said he’s trying to strike similar agreements with other Mexican governors, but until then the enhanced inspections along the rest of the state’s border will continue.
The two governors cast their agreement as groundbreaking, though Mr. Abbott said it was a shame that they had to step in where President Biden has faltered.
“Not once has Joe Biden been down to the border. Not once has he sat down to try to hammer out an agreement like this,” Mr. Abbott said.
The Texan imposed his new inspections last week as a response to the Biden administration’s decision to cancel the Title 42 pandemic border policy that had allowed many illegal immigrants to be expelled, rather than caught and released.
With the end of Title 42 next month, Homeland Security is expecting up to 540,000 illegal immigrants a month to rush the border — about three times the current rate.

Our government has failed us over and over. We better never get in another war with this criminal ineptitude or treasonous criminals we call our leaders.

God bless Abbott
Well, now that a full 14 km of the Texas-Mexico border will be patrolled by incorruptible Mexican law enforcement, the problem is solved.
joe is concerned about Ukraine’s border, gonna get him a war...
Nuevo León only has a small sliver that touches Texas.
He used the Trump method. Take something away that will hurt and wait for their response. Worked fast.
The catels own these Mexican border governors. They get very annoyed when product is not moving due to these enhanced inspections. Plus odds of seizures goes way up. This is real world hardball.
“Mr. Abbott said he’s trying to strike similar agreements with other Mexican governors, but until then the enhanced inspections along the rest of the state’s border will continue. “
They will all fall in line due to what I posted above.
This Mexican State has less than 10 miles of common border with the US.
Less than 10!
I know. Fourteen kilometers according to the story. Wake me when Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Tamaulipas do the same as Nuevo Leon.

There was a post here on FR ages ago which showed the Mexican government only controls 70%-75% of the country. The rest was controlled by cartels. It’s probably worse by now.
BTW, Presidents Calderon and Trump had a good relationship. Even though Calderon is a socialist.
The planned destruction of America continues.
Where are our Republican congressmen?
The Laredo-Colombia Solidarity International Bridge is the only vehicular bridge that connects the United States with the state of Nuevo León. It crosses over the Rio Grande between the city of Colombia, Nuevo León, and Laredo, Texas.
Good start.
