A Texas lawmaker slammed Mexico for again missing a deadline to comply with the countries' 1944 water treaty.

Concretely, Rep. Monica De La Cruz, who represents a border region in south Texas, told Border Report that the responsibility is partly shared for authorities who have not forced Mexico to comply with the treaty despite continued failures to meet its obligations.
