Border Patrol Union chief says the Mexico side won’t abide by the agreements: ‘It’s not going to be lastingโ€”it never isโ€™

ACUNA, Mexicoโ€”April 15 was quiet in Acuรฑa, Mexico, which sits across the river from the Texas city of Del Rioโ€”a hot spot for illegal immigration.

A day earlier, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott inked a border security agreement with his counterpart in the Mexican state of Coahuila, in which Acuรฑa sits. The deal included โ€œenhanced border security enforcement measuresโ€ along the Rio Grande.

In Acuรฑa, The Epoch Times saw state and local police pull up to the Rio Grande and take photos of themselves for social media. They said they want to show tourists that itโ€™s safe in Acuรฑa during the Easter holiday and confirmed they havenโ€™t been conducting extra river patrols since the agreement was signed.

Local immigration agents said โ€œeverything is normal,โ€ when asked if they had been given any new instructions over the past week.

The agreements signed between Abbott and his counterparts in four bordering Mexican states have commercial trucks moving smoothly again through most ports of entry again, but critics say the border security part wonโ€™t last long.

The three Mexican states have promised to patrol the Rio Grande and curb illegal immigration into Texas, as well as conduct safety checks on the commercial trucks preparing to enter Texas.

โ€œTheyโ€™ll show a good faith effort, but itโ€™s not going to be lastingโ€”it never is,โ€ Brandon Judd, president of the Border Patrol Union, told The Epoch Times.

โ€œThereโ€™s just too much corruption. The cartels are too embedded in the governments, the corruption is very widespread down there. But at least Governor Abbott was able to force their hand.โ€

Over the previous two nights, Border Patrol agents apprehended 235 illegal immigrants who had crossed the river into the Eagle Pass area from the Mexican city of Piedras Negras, Coahuila state.

Among the first group were 16 illegal aliens from Kyrgyzstan, seven from Kazakhstan, and a Russian,ย accordingย to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which is responsible for border clearance into the United States.
