Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s border-security crackdown is clogging up commercial crossings, leaving at least 19,000 trucks loaded with $1.9 billion of goods stuck waiting in Mexico.

“Absurd” safety inspections are causing wait times as long as 24 hours in lines that stretch for 23 kilometers (14 miles), Mexico’s biggest trucking group said in a statement Oct. 8. The holdup makes it exceedingly difficult for businesses to manage supply chains, it said.
 
Governor Abbott orders razor wire strung along the Texas border....Texas's border with NEW Mexico. He...He DOES know New Mexico is a part of the actual United States, right?

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced this week that the Texas National Guard is installing razor wire along the border of Texas and New Mexico on his orders. “Migrants are entering New Mexico illegally then crossing into Texas,” Abbott wrote on X. “We are stopping it.”

The move represents an escalation in the governor’s multibillion-dollar efforts to repel immigrants from crossing into Texas, now targeted at New Mexico, which is governed by Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat.

Texas passes law to deport brown people. Basically any cop in the state can stop anyone with a brown skin, claim they are in the country illegally, jail and deport them -- even while ignoring any proof they are citizens.

What's next a bill to stop all black people and deport them to Africa?

Well as the right wing has proudly proclaimed -it's 'open season on people of color'.

"Y'all don't live in our f---ing skin," state Rep. Armando Walle told Republican colleagues after they cut off debate on a bill an attorney described as "open season on people of color."

Let's see where Abbott's state ranks in personal freedom.

Texas Has the Fewest Personal Freedoms

Texas was found to be the state with the fewest personal freedoms, according to the Cato Institute's new Freedom Index.

The index is a yearly measure of both economic and personal freedoms at the state level. The methodology looks at issues from taxation to debt, as well as eminent domain laws, occupational licensing, drug policy and educational choice.

While Texas came in at number 17 for its overall freedom score, buoyed by considerable wins in economic freedom, the state lagged significantly behind when it came to personal freedoms, coming in dead last. Personal freedoms include gambling, tobacco, marriage, education, cannabis, alcohol, and several others.

In the overall freedom rankings, New Hampshire rated number 1, followed by Florida and South Dakota, while New York was dead last, with Hawaii 49th and California 48th. For personal freedoms, Nevada came tops followed by Arizona and Maine, with Wyoming 48th and Idaho 49th.

"Texas is a paradigmatic case, finishing dead last in personal freedom despite a top-10 economic freedom score," the study said. "Texans may be unhappy with their weak personal freedom showing, but it reflects poor criminal justice policies and the fact that the Lone Star State is increasingly behind the curve on cannabis, education, and gambling freedoms."

From 2000 and 2022, Texas only grew 0.25 points in its overall freedom score, showing there's still a considerable gap compared to other states that scored well.
