7 thoughts on “Economic toll worsens as trucks remain stopped at Mexico border

  1. What do the inspections actually entail? Are they looking for migrants? Are they finding any? Is this who they are placing on buses to Washington D.C.? What happens when the buses arrive in D.C.?

    1. The Texas DPS by law is restricting to inspecting trucks for mechanical defects and driver of the truck for licensing issues. They are prohibited from opening trailers and looking for illegal migrants or goods, which is a federal responsibility. It is thus not clear who the governor is putting on those buses, or how they were “apprehended.” As to what happens when they get to DC is anybody’s guess. Bottom line: it just another Republican politician’s stunt to motivate his base and keeping the campaign contributions flowing.

  2. That’s a really intelligent summary, Brent B.

    NOT.

    You would prefer MORE illegal immigrants and drugs entering the country? Most liberals would, to help screw up the country more than it already is, so we’d all look to “the government” to solve our problems…the very problems they’ve created.

    Give it a rest.

    1. Most people would like to have fresh produce available at reasonable cost in their local grocery stores, without the grandstanding governor violating the Constitution by interfering with interstate and international commerce.

      Funny how “conservatives” are in favor of limited Constitutional government (until it serves their purposes to ignore the plain wording of the Constitution).
