Texas Goes to the Truckers

To the list of things slowing and disrupting supply chains, add a border state that is fed up with being invaded from the south.

ZH: Texas Clogs Ports Of Entry As State Forces Attention On Illegal Immigration

DPS officers have conducted “enhanced commercial vehicle safety inspections” since April 6 at seven ports of entry—Brownsville, Los Indios, Pharr, Laredo, Eagle Pass, Del Rio, and El Paso. Texas has 28 land ports of entry with Mexico.

Significant slowdowns were recorded at the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge, with the wait time increasing up to 4 hours, according to real-time data captured on the Customs and Border Protection website. Laredo and Brownsville bridges experienced the same. Wait time is recorded from when a vehicle passes the Mexican toll gate until it clears U.S. customs.

Under older concepts of law and sovereignty, USG has abdicated control over the United States by refusing to control the border. I say older, but not outdated. The Gods of the Copybook Headings haven't returned yet. When they do, the political movement/man who guarantees control of the border becomes "king."
