More Border Inspections Of Big Rigs

Governor Abbott has called for enhanced inspections of trucks coming from Mexico to look for drug and human traffickers, but will it work? The governor admitted this would dramatically slow traffic at the border. Tony Payan, Director of the US/Mexico Center at Rice University, says the state doesn’t have enough money and personnel to pull this off. He says border patrol only inspects one to two percent of big rigs thoroughly that come into Texas.
