Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has sealed a deal with the Mexican governor of Nuevo Leon state, Samuel Alejandro García Sepúlveda, to address the issue at the Texas-Mexico border.

Abbott's office issued a press release saying that Garcia and the Texas governor signed a memorandum of understanding between the State of Texas and the Free and Sovereign State of Nuevo León to amplify security measures at Texas-Mexico border, according to The Daily Wire report.

The press release noted that the agreement "goes into effect immediately."

The office of the governor said that governors from Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Chihuahua, as well as the Chief Officer for the North American Unit at the Mexican Secretariat of Foreign Affairs have been in touch with the Governor's Office.

Abbott noted that Texas "demands and deserves an aggressive, comprehensive border security strategy," which would shield communities from dangerous consequences due to illegal immigration.

He then mentioned U.S. President Joe Biden's decision on immigration laws passed by Congress, saying that Texas will step up and use its own strategies to secure the border, according to the press release.

Abbott called on Biden to secure the border and advised Texans to get in touch with their federal elected officials to maintain Title 42 expulsions.

Biden Administration on Abbott's Texas-Mexico Response

The Biden administration has called out Abbott's deputization of state troopers to inspect commercial vehicles crossing the border.

The initiative has caused delays and threatens the country's pandemic-burdened supply chains, according to Texas Tribune News report.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that the Republican governor's unnecessary and redundant inspections of trucks are causing "significant disruptions to the food and automobile supply chains."

Psaki added that it also delays manufacturing, and jobs, and raises prices for families in Texas and across the country.

The White House press secretary's statement came following the announcement of Abbott and the Mexican governor's agreement.

García Sepúlveda said that he had come to an agreement with Abbott, saying that they would lift the extra level of inspection as long as no violations occurred.

Commercial vehicles crossing the border have to wait hours due to Abbott's new initiative while state troopers inspect every vehicle.

The delays in travel have caused a 60 percent drop in commercial traffic at the border, according to border control officials.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller urged Abbott to halt the commercial vehicle inspections, describing it as a "political theater."

He added that it could leave grocery stores with empty shelves in the coming weeks.

Texas-Mexico Border Inspection

Abbott would stop inspections that have caused a huge backlog in cargo traffic in exchange for the agreement with the Mexican governor, according to a New York Post report.

State businesses have incurred a cost of around $100 million a day due to the delays.

The Mexican inspections are taking 30 minutes as compared to the 45 to 60 minutes for the Texas Department of Public Safety inspections are taking.

Abbott first ordered the inspections on April 6 in response to the government's plan to end the Title 42 public health authority.
