Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) announced Wednesday that he’s reached an agreement with the governor of the Mexican state of Nuevo León to secure part of the Texas-Mexico border.
“Governor Samuel García signed a memorandum of understanding between the State of Texas and the Free and Sovereign State of Nuevo León to enhance border security measures that will prevent illegal immigration from Mexico to Texas and improve the flow of traffic across the Colombia Solidarity International Bridge,” said a press release from Abbott’s office. “The agreement goes into effect immediately.”
