. The federal government said vehicles packed with fresh produce, auto parts and other goods had been waiting up to 12 hours to cross the border, and some truckers said it took three days getting through federal and state checkpoints.“If you want relief from the clogged border, you need to call President Biden.”“Greg Abbott’s chaos at the border is crushing businesses, raising prices for Texans, causing supply chain delays, and hurting the economy of our state and this country.
“The current situation on the border simply cannot be sustained and we urge President Joe Biden and Gov. Greg Abbott to come together before our economy endures further irreparable damage.”“Operation Lone Star’s budget has ballooned to $3 billion, jeopardized the livelihood of 10,000 Texas National Guard soldiers, and now is crippling Texas’s supply chain. We need accountability. This operation is costing taxpayers $2.5 million a week.
–Aileen Teague, assistant professor of international affairs at Texas A&M Bush School of government and public service.
