In a recent interview for Sean Hannity’s show on “Fox News” The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, threatened to reimpose revisions on the border between Mexico and the United States, since accused of a constant flow of illegal immigration to his entity.
“I have the ability at any time to turn those inspections back on that would slow down trucks trying to cross the border and wreak havoc in Mexico,” Abbott told the news anchor.
Similarly, the state president commented that the political cost of the inspections would be paid by the “Mexican governors.” Last Monday, the president Andrés Manuel López Obrador spoke about this issue during his press conference and said that it is legal to carry out the inspections but it is “very vile”.
The Governor of Texas also warned against sending illegal immigrants out of Texas to other points in the United States and recalled that this Monday a truck full of undocumented people left for Washington DC
