Texas governor has plans for border

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday delivered new orders along the U.S.Mexico border and promised more to come.

Abbott said state troopers would begin stopping and inspecting commercial vehicles that come across the border, which he acknowledged would “dramatically slow” vehicle traffic near U.S. ports of entry. Abbott said the inspection stops would occur on Texas roadways and follow the law.

He said bus charters to Washington, D.C., would be offered to migrants who volunteer for them.
