A federal-state dispute over U.S. immigration policy heated up, as the White House lambasted Texas Governor Greg Abbott over state inspections that have snarled truck traffic from Mexico
White House press secretary Jen Psaki slammed the enhanced truck inspections ordered by Governor Greg Abbott last week, saying they are disrupting trade and leading to higher prices.
Abbott said the agreement would allow Texas to cease the stepped-up inspections for vehicles coming from Nuevo Leon, but that they would continue at other border crossings unless similar agreements are reached, adding that he expected to meet with more Mexican officials this week.
