Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's truck inspection policy turned up zero drugs and caused hours-long backlogs at the border - https://www.businessinsider.com/greg-abbotts-truck-inspection-policy-turned-up-zero-drugs-2022-4?IR =T&r=US&utm_source=pocket_mylist
"Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's decision to ramp up inspections of commercial trucks at the border — an apparent effort to stop illegal drugs and migrants from being smuggled into Texas — turned up zero drugs, weapons, or contraband, according to The Texas Tribune.
The Republican governor announced the policy earlier this month, instructing state troopers to inspect every commercial truck arriving in the US from border states in an attempt to stamp out "cartel-facilitated smuggling." The effort was implemented despite US Customs and Border Protection already having a policy in place to routinely inspect commercial cargo coming from Mexico. "

Biden is 79-years-old, while Sanders is 80.
