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.

Well, now that a full 14 km of the Texas-Mexico border will be patrolled by incorruptible Mexican law enforcement, the problem is solved.

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.

"Our 14-kilometer border with Texas"

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.

We will not recover from this.

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.

This is real world hardball.
 
That it is. And as for calling busing invaders to D.C. a "stunt" - why yes, it is. And a very effective one at that. Network and local news media, internet forums and social media are all now blowing up about that and the border. It's everywhere. Abbott borrowed a page out of the Trump playbook and captured the narrative. Proactive at seizing and shaping the optics instead of being reactive like the commiecrats are used to.
