MISSION, Texas – The president and CEO of the Texas International Produce Association says the fresh produce industry could be decimated by Gov. Greg Abbott’s latest border security policies.
Abbott recently announced the Department of Public Safety would start inspecting trucks coming into Texas from Mexico, even though they have already been inspected by U.S. Customs & Border Protection.
