I hope all affected Sue Abbott

Hey Donald Duck Trump does this add to the empty shelves at the grocery store or can we blame this on the Democrats also by any chance

Gov abbott, LtG patrick and AG paxton are all up at midterm. Vote these worthless fucks out with me 11/8/22, Texans. #morebluein22

How can we blame Biden for this?

Abbott is using state money to garner support of xenophobes (i.e. Republicans). He's one of them himself. The rest doesn't matter to him.

You didn't stop shit. Trucks are not the only way humans and drugs are smuggled into the US.
laylowdown
Can the companies losing money sue the Texas government for this crap?
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
This is America. You can always sue someone
EatsLogic
The only question is if you can actually win.

Add this to the long list of historical examples that anti-immigration paranoia never results in anything remotely positive. See Brexit.
Cytious
So that must mean it's not happening right?

Greg Abbott is a piece of trash who couldn’t even take a hint to back off his fascist agendas BY AN ACT OF GOD
Inkfinger
Hi there! I'm dumb. Would some explain this to me in dumb?
gottsmote
This is a quick version, certainly missing some of the minutiae.

Abbott, 'Who cares, the Yahoos think I'm God for stopping them Mexicans from raping their sisters and stealing their jobs! Dumb Fucks!' /s
ThailandExpress
thats because they were deliberately disrupting the supply chain instead https://twitter.com/MeidasTouch/status/1514303123598176256

Companies have been shipping into Mexico to get around the slowdowns at US ports. This is definitely going to cause even more problems.

Yeah, but is that what they are really looking for. I thought it would be banned books, trans kids support people and abortion supplies.
rubypilgrim
Abbott was def successful in slowing strawberry trafficking, so there's that to brag about.
rongoins1
So Governor Abbott wasted time, money just get attention while making everyone suffer for higher food costs. Thank You GOP cult leader
boognish115
Everyone knows that the best way to catch criminals is to check their tire pressure. /s
BlancheTuttle
That means it's working right? /s
EatsLogic
Oh, stop! You mean to tell me that Mexican truckers are really just people trying to do their job and go home? Unbelievable!
LavaAxe
Good they checked, it was a non-zero chance the inspections could've created human trafficking.
Randomice
Yet another blatant waste of tax payers money.
HandoB4Javert
THESHADOWOFJECT
as a Texan I can say Abbott is good at that
dontrike
Among many others that Abbott is currently doing, like having troops at the border for no fucking reason.
LordNergal
To make it worse? Texas actually is one of the primary avenues of international human trafficking. Just human traffickers are not complete 1
LordNergal
fucking morons, unlike many of the people who write guides or pass laws or run campaigns to fight human trafficking. 2/2
fireflowerfire
Do you really think taxpayers are going to reimburse the companies who lost $250 million? Hah!
Jarjarthejedi
Do you really think Abbott is going to piss off the people who pay him $$$? He'd much rather piss off taxpayers, they either hate him
Jarjarthejedi
already for good reason or are too stupid to notice their money being stolen.
Randomice
Uhm...
rubypilgrim
well of course not. This was an act of war against the US. A wink wink nudge nudge war, but how else could you describe it?
AnonOmis1000
Bet reps will see this as proof it worked
Iblamemyparentstoo
More of republicans bright ideas...it's almost as if they're completely incompetent.
UnattendedDeviant
Of course not. Even his Repub Agricultural Commish calls it "political theater... leading to food shortages". Abbott saw the polls showing..
UnattendedDeviant
...he's in statistical tie with Dem Beto O'Rourk for Governor and he needed a stunt. "Look I'm going after human trafficking and pedos!".
Bhargo
and the republican base cheered
Jewdakris
It's too bad his fuckwit followers only care about the game being played and not the score, though Texas hasn't been winning anything lately
Iblamemyparentstoo
Well it worked better than expected
SirBonSama
Well shit, if he's looking for pedos, all he had to do was look into his Republican buddies.
Roqinn
And all he showed was that he wasted tax payer money and caused food shortages! Way to help the Dems!
ProphetofEntropy
if only texans were smart enough to see how the Rs arent working for most of their interests, cause they dont make $1M+/year
LordNergal
Oh, and now every human trafficker that routes people through Texas is going to be putting in extra effort in security, making it that 1/
LordNergal
much harder to fight them and free their victims. And this is already one where freeing a dozen people is a major victory. 2/2
