The border inspections by Texas are seen as redundant by at least two major trade groups that say the new policy is already wreaking havoc on the border.

Commercial traffic at Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge -- a major port of entry for the US-Mexico border that handles both commercial and passenger vehicles -- is"halted temporarily" due to an ongoing protest on the Mexican side of the border and there are"no southbound movements by US carriers," a US Customs and Border Protection official confirmed to CNN Monday.

Reynosa Mayor Carlos Peña Ortiz declined to comment on the matter.Last week, Abbott's office announced several actions in response to President Joe Biden's plans to lift Title 42, a Trump-era pandemic policy that effectively prevented migrants from seeking asylum in the US, at the end of May.

Are you sure that it’s Texas who’s wrecking havoc at the border?
