The mandatory increased DPS inspections of commercial vehicles will now go back to randomized checks, Gov. Abbott said.
EL PASO, Texas -- An agreement has been reached between Gov. Greg Abbott and Samuel García, the governor of the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon, regarding the delays at the border crossing.
Abbott said he hopes he can make similar agreements with other Mexican governors with states and cities with bridges into the U.S. Nuevo Leon's governor hopes this will inspire other Mexican states to do the same. Local trade associations, officials, and businesses are calling on the Texas government to discontinue the additional border truck inspection process, according to CBP. It said extra inspections aren't necessary to protect the safety and security of the communities across our state. In fact, CBP said this is causing a bigger headache because of significant impacts to local supply chains and will ultimately impact consumers and businesses nationally.
"Gov. Abbott's actions are impacting people's jobs, and the livelihoods of hardworking American families," said Psaki."Local businesses and trade associations are calling on Gov. Abbott to reverse this decision because trucks are facing lengthy delays exceeding five hours at some border crossings, and commercial traffic has dropped by as much as 60%.
