Apparently the dipshit TX governor, in protest of Biden admin letting the racist title 42 policy lapse, has ordered his troupe of thumbs to inspect all trucks entering TX even though the feds are doing this already. This is causing trucks to be delayed another 45min-1hr just for the inspections themselves, and also leading to longer wait times at the border.

Diesel ain’t free these days so the Mexican truckers, understandably pissed, are blockading the border crossings. Of course, this will lead to… you guessed it… higher prices!

What will our sleepy protagonist do?

Even under the concept of Federalism that delegated power between branches of government, states should not be in charge of monitoring foreign trade or borders.

Just banking on the utter toothlessness of the Dems. This is so bold-faced, and is borderline a soft coup lmao.

Just casually usurping the power of the fed well Biden smooches his grandkids or whatever. Nothing to see here

Like if this isn’t punished then I guess anyone can control the border at this point. Might as well be me showing up and doing the inspections for all the legality of it cares

Shutting down the economy of the Rio Grande Valley to own Delaware Democrats? I guess.

Even a convoy of Mexican truck drivers. :inshallah:
