EL PASO — Officials in Texas took steps on Tuesday to all but close an international crossing in El Paso, as state police began conducting commercial vehicle inspections of every truck entering the United States.
The move resembled one ordered by Gov. Greg Abbott this spring, an effort that resulted in traffic jams that severely interrupted the flow of goods into the United States, with lines of trucks stretching back miles into Mexico. In protest, some Mexican truckers created a blockade to further impede traffic and seek an end to the Texas inspections.
Mr. Abbott presented that effort as a way to pressure the Mexican government to do more to stop migrants and smugglers from trying to cross the border. He ultimately lifted the inspections after securing broad promises to increase enforcement from local Mexican state leaders, including the governor of Chihuahua, which is just across the border from El Paso.
But the efforts of Mr. Abbott and the promises of Mexican officials do not appear to have had much effect.

Send EVERY one of the illegal aliens to NYC and stand guard to insure that ALL stay there. If it takes walling up that civil septic tank, so be it. Let “Escape from New York” be real, and make the Bidenholes contained within regret it.
If only it were true. I see no evidence that any of that is taking place, and in fact it’s only getting worse.
18 months is a long time to come to the realization that maybe something needs to be done.
We have a very corrupt federal government imo. So Texas is exercising its constitutionally enumerated power to proceed with fighting invasion while waiting for incompetent, alleged election-stealing Democrats and RINOs to officially close insecure (imo) border.
"Article I, Section 10, Clause 3: No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay [emphases added]."
How about the 2,000 that waded over from Juarez yesterday?
Need to take their money as well.
The gate has to be closed for it to work as designed.
THIS. IS. AN. ACT. OF. WAR. and should be met with AIRSTRIKES on Drug Cartel drug dens and MEXICO CITY.
F'EM. FUM!
Where were those police escorted busses coming from? My best guess is a prison release. Otherwise, why the police?
They HAVEN'T been doing it already??!!??
I don't want to alarm anyone; but have you looked out the window??
It’s how replacement plans work.
