Texas Hold-Em on Border Bridges

AUSTIN, Texas – National media went wild over Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s April 6 press briefing vow that he would bus illegal immigrants to Washington D.C. But they overlooked an Abbott plan I figured in a column would matter much more: “enhanced safety inspections” of commercial trucking coming off the international bridges from Mexico.

While cameras followed the bus-em-to-DC story, the governor’s Texas Department of Public Safety was wreaking major trade havoc at some of America’s busiest commercial ports of entry, backlogging trucks into long snaking lines into the Mexican horizon. Bright and early on Thursday April 7, small groups of Texas Department of Public Safety commercial vehicle inspectors started slow and methodical inspections of trucks coming off the Pharr-Reynosa international bridge. The operation immediately jammed up trucks for more miles into Mexico than web and drone cameras could see – and probably will again all this coming week.

    If it keeps one Gonzalez from killing a Celli-Olivo, it's worth it.

    They are not kidding when they say "Don't mess with Texas".

    There is more than one way to skin a cat.
    An old Celt saying probably still used in Appalachia.

    The guy who talked about companies moving to Arizona or New Mexico? Neither state is set up for that amount of traffic, and to do so would take millions of dollars and more than a few months.

    Nothing new. About 10 years or so ago DPS had a publicized check that red tagged 98 percent out of service.

    Late to the party. All border states should have been doing all legal procedures to protect legal citizens!

    I sure as hell hope some of our people in CON-gress are looking for loopholes to get an injunction to stop Biden from blowing the border wide-open. Too bad the taking down of America is his ultimate goal.
    And good on Gov Abbot to at least try this tactic. I'll bet he's bringing some TX Natl Guard too!

      Abbott is a POS. He let 2 million illegals pour into Texas.

    Time to round up the wetbacks and haul them to DC and NY in cattle trucks. Stopping at various places to hose down the illegals and toss them sack lunches. Time they reach DC they should be ready to kick some socialist ass.
