Who Controls the International Borders?

[theotherwaldo]

Meanwhile, Governor Abbott is forcing the Mexican states that border Texas to start inspecting north-bound truck traffic.
The state of Nuevo Leon has agreed to start inspecting the trucks going to the bridges near Laredo, so the inspections on the US side will return to normal.Some of the other Mexican border states are in negotiations with the Governor and they may clear up this part of the problem pretty quick.

Another part of the problem is with the oncoming flood of "migrants" flooding in because of the Biden administration of the Title 42 "Remain in Mexico" policy. Nuevo Leon has apparently agreed to cooperate with Texas on that point, as well. The other border states are negotiating on this point, too.
But as Governor Abbott says, "Until, however, those agreements are reached with those states, the Texas Department of Public Safety will continue to thoroughly inspect vehicles entering into the United States from every Mexican state except Nuevo Leon."

The really interesing part of this story are entities involved are totally bypassing their normal chain of sovereign state to sovereign state negotiating protocol and are just doing what they need to do to get the job done. Or in other words: DC and DF de Mexico are irrelevant?

When federal officials refuse to do their duties then it falls to the states to defend themselves by using what powers remain within their control... .

 

[theotherwaldo]

Interesting.
They have opened another assembly and storage yard in Pharr, Texas.
It's smaller than the others.
The other yards are not really full, so why another yard?
Does this indicate that Wall construction is a "Go" again?

More illegals dead.
At least 46 dead in an abandoned semi near San Antonio,
Another drowned near Eagle Pass.
How many more, Joe?

Is Texas still working on the wall? I haven't heard anything about this project in a long time.

 

[theotherwaldo]

Yep, but slowly... .

Relating to the semi-truck deaths (51, so far), the "cloned" trailer is copied from a company in my little town of Alamo, Texas.
Coincidentally, my neighbor, a trucker, hasn't been around for a few days.
He and his clan had spent the last few weeks reconditioning a big reefer unit... .

 

[theotherwaldo]

It looks like it wasn't my neighbor.
Whew.
But, sadly, the death count from this incident is now up to 53.

Abbott says truck inspections are on again.
-And Kamala STILL hasn't visited the Valley.

 

[theotherwaldo]

Uh oh.
My neighbor and his clan are rebuilding another 40' reefer unit.
I hope that this one is reliable... .

And, yes, I'm seeing that the big, permanent, concrete-cored steel bollard Wall panels are going out from the Pharr, Texas storage yards, on their way to getting installed on the Hidalgo County border.
Maybe Biden's portable, "possibly" temporary mini-panels may get installed in Starr and Cameron Counties.

It looks like the State of Texas may actually have some say over the Texas border... .
