AUSTIN, Texas — Texas will begin busing migrants to the steps of the U.S. Capitol and inspecting vehicles driven in from Mexico, Gov. Greg Abbott announced on Wednesday in what he called an “unprecedented” response to illegal immigration.
The additional inspections at the international ports of entry will “dramatically slow traffic from Mexico to Texas,” Abbott acknowledged.
The inspections are aimed at finding smugglers bringing undocumented immigrants, fentanyl “and other illegal cargo” from Mexico, the Republican governor said at a press conference in Weslaco in the Rio Grande Valley.
