LoginTexas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday repealed his traffic-clogging immigration order that backed up commercial trucks at the U.S.-Mexico border, after a week of intensifying backlash and fears of deepening economic losses.
Pressure was building on Abbott to retreat as gridlock on the border worsened. The American Trucking Association called the inspections "wholly flawed, redundant and adding considerable weight on an already strained supply chain." One customs agency in Mexico estimated the losses at millions of dollars a day, and produce distributors warned of empty shelves and higher prices if the order was not rescinded soon.Link (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/texas-repeals-immigration-order-that-caused-border-gridlock/2022/04/15/c6262ee6-bcfd-11ec-a92d-c763de818c21_story.html)
