Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) says the state will begin enhanced vehicle inspections at the border and will send migrants to Washington D.C. on charter buses in response to the federal government ending Title 42 expulsions.
The first, Abbott said, is for the DPS to conduct enhanced safety inspections of vehicles as they cross the international points of entry into Texas.
Texas DPS Director Steve McCraw said they would begin the inspections at 4 p.m. Wednesday at 20 locations along the border. McCraw said the inspections will not take place on federal property and that probable cause is not needed to stop a vehicle for a safety inspection. "It's our job to ensure that every commercial vehicle is safe and the driver is safe as well. If not, we'll put them out of service," McCraw said.The governor said he is also directing Texas DEM Director Nim Kidd to put the"hordes of illegal immigrants" overwhelming Texas border communities on charter buses bound for the nation's capital.
"Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants that have been dropped off by the Biden Administration to Washington, D.C. We are sending them to the U.S. Capital where the Biden Administration can more immediately address the needs of the people they are allowing to cross the border."Kidd said the state has previously used up to 900 buses for evacuations and that they will use as many buses as they need to follow the governor's directive.
Abbott said there will be more announcements next week of action he plans to take to slow migration at the border.“If Abbott focused on solutions instead of stunts, then Texas could have made some real progress on this issue over the last seven years.”
