Senate asked Texas to withdraw inspections of Mexican trucks

Senate CESITMEC noted that these immigration security measures imposed by Gregory Wayne Abbott are affecting trade flow and supply chains

Senators of the Republic expressed concern on Tuesday about the effects on supply chains left by the new immigration security measures being implemented on the border with Texas, in the United States.

In a statement, the Special Committee for Monitoring the Implementation of the T-MEC (CESITMEC), headed by PRI Senator Claudia Ruiz Massieu, said that this measure affects trade flows between the two countries by increasing the review time of each unit that wishes to enter Texan territory by up to 24 hours. which impacts prices for consumers.

He recalled that at present, vehicles entering goods from our country to the US are effectively and efficiently inspected by the Customs and Border Protection Services.

And last week, the governor of Texas, Gregory Wayne Abbott ordered that every cargo truck coming from Mexico be inspected by state officials, after passing the federal one at the ports of entry, in order to contain the entry of migrants, mostly from Central America.
