Well if useless Joe would have not invited illegal immigrants and conditions favorable for cartels to exploit the situation thanks to Joe Biden
COME ON MAN oh boooo hoooo ask your government to shut down the caravans then instead of helping illegals come into america or you can just keep your food and not get paid for anything !!!!
Money better spent on the power grid
Back in 85 I came out from the Army settled in san Antonio Texas And I Noticed that mostly all tex-mex are. Racist to they're own kind. I've seen some not so good actions. WITH Mexican People. So let's put everything in where it belongs.. Texans are racist .. period if some are not racist okay 👍 Good.. but mostly are Racist and most people agree with me.. Eve some of my White Americans agree.. Sounds CRAZY but it's true. Now. Greg Abbott is the most Racist of All and what Abbott is doing in the border is nothing but a stunt. To prove that he protects Texas truck drivers. Yeah!! Mostly Racist truckers. Crazy but true .. Now All of This Hispanics trying to get amnesty to cross the border to the us.. are Abbott's next Show is Racism. By threatening to shipping them to Washington 😂🤣😆 funny but that's racist… (My Opinion…..).
F anyone who's not an America citizen with an opinion…
File charges against Abbott for crimes against humanity
But it's not going to help to donors with we build the wall project they want their money back where is that 25 million dollars that Donald Trump got from all the donor money from we build the wall project. They just got done Prosecuting a man named Steve Bannon and another man named Brian Kolfage. For fraud and embezzling money's from we build the wall from donor money from we build the wall project. Has every time Joe Biden or Camilla Harris goes down to the border wall they want their 25 million dollars back who's going to give that money to them.
This like the Canadian trucker strike sure seem like Biden's fault! Not!!
Good
Good thank god for American republicans.
🇺🇸🫂🌎
God Bless the great state of Texas. Hopefully they are able to amicably work through their disagreements and different opinions so that life and work can continue to blend productively. As so much as it is able to.
They want Jose to win so they are better able to understand what is being said. Either this or Gov Abbott needs to learn Espanol mucho fast. The political arena is a tough show, always someone who is upset about something. Buenos dias, senor y ita.
These poor truckers can't make any cartel money if the product doesn't make it across I suppose.
Build another wall next to the other one.
Abbott grandsitting. Political nonsense. This gov is a fool.
They have nothing I need.
I do not care if they ever come here with what is in those trucks.
They can 'haul' air for all I care.
Too bad truckers can't bypass the right wing fascist Texas and go straight to Canada.
Not sure why Texans puts so much faith into a man that can easily be defeated by a set of stairs
Fake news.
Treasonous Republicans!!!!
Abbott: How to destroy America and get away with it.
i appreciate governor's initiative
stop these mexican drivers working in usa please
NAFTA started this took away trucking jobs
Cartel supply line slow down
Getting the News ? Th e Truth is Rich and the one who has it or with it , so share it , share alike and receive.
This is just a domino effect of all the crises Biden regime caused or made worse. Abbott Is just trying to protect his state and in turn protecting the rest of the county because every state is a border state now
See
I thought Republicans were pro truckers?
Tell me. About the 100.000. People. Admited. To the. Usa from. UKRAiNE day. By. Day. To complete. 100.000. People. In to. The. Usa. That's. Is. Good. Or. Bad. For. You.
God bless this Governor we should do this more often
I am sure this is not contributing to contributing to food shortages and inflation. Everything is Biden's fault.
This is not an organized protest, it is a delay caused by a poor decision. This is one oh one Trust the main stream media.
Abbott is always trying to make a name for himself. If he doesn't like having neighbors GO LIVE ON THE MOON!
Well, at LEAST the Texans will know for SURE who to blame for local empty shelves and growing costs.. ABBOTT!!!
He might be having fun with his little grandstanding for the audiences, but the reality is that HE is hurting Texas AND the National economy when HE tries to blame Biden for it.. . SO Republican.. Doing something stupid, then blaming the Democrats for it. WHERE would the USA be without the Dems to come and bail them out after EVERY GOP deregulation and scam term???
Remember the sub-prime fiasco? That is just ONE GOP failure that ended-up disrupting the GLOBAL economy. Then they brought Trump on the gaming board and screwed EVERYTHING up. Now, EVERYBODY is allowed to cheat. It's even recommended and applauded by Republican voters. The WORST a human being a person is, the BETTER their chances of getting MAGAt votes.. Look at MGT. Boebert, Gatez, Hawley, Cruz, etc.. ALL total scum and pure self-centered shamelessness. In MTGs case, you could add psychotic and probably homicidal to the pack.
This political stunt by Abbot is going to drive up food prices. Its time to get rid of a Governor No Electricity, who pushes politics over people eating food. This is a disgusting abuse of power. Food prices are already high enough, this man should be doing all he can to get that food to the stores before it rots. People need to eat, and not pay higher prices for a political stunt.
The governor can send them illegals over here to Me we need them in our chicken houses we have a big shortage of workers we don’t have enough people to work in the chicken houses or the chicken plants !! President Biden we’d be glad to buy us some of them illegals from you where do we send a check to Hunter we’ll buy one of Hunter Pictures !
More Traitor (Republikkan) manipulation meant to drive up "inflation".
Why is such criminal activity being allowed?
Can somebody take his wheel chair from him so he could just stay in bed and wait for the next governor
Love it! If Abbot takes no action to inspect these trucks coming in from Mexico where everyone knows all the drugs come from, then there is a problem. If Abbot takes action as he is doing now, then there's a problem. Taking action is what Abbot was voted into Office to do. Want no Action, well you Democrats that voted for Biden and Harris, how's that working out for ya??
Screw The Truckers!!
Certainly will increase inflation in Texas and other states! Republicans like Abbott will blame others, like always!
More tax dollars waisted on a red state due to higher cost on everyday living.
This mindset of 'America First, really translate to, “We don’t care what happens as long as we are safe." The bible reads in Galatians 3:28: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are ALL one in Christ Jesus! America is VERY selfish! Lord, forgive us for this selfish mindset!
What. You're nuts. He could have done this years ago if he was so concerned. Oh I see, time for campaign 2022. Got to git em riled up. Desperately trying to keep the phony 'immigration invasion' in the news. Red meat for trump supporters. So expect prices to rise more and higher unemployment on top of everything else thanks to republicans. Abbott's got to go.
Inspection of ALL white truckers for the stupid "truckers protest" they're responsible for 99% of drug distribution throughout the U.S. 🙄😂😭
God bless all law enforcement officers especially, ICE and border patrol.

They are helping make America a safer place in spite of the federal government.
