De La Cruz Pushes Tariffs on Mexico Over Water Treaty Violations

Monica introduced the Water Assurance and Treaty Enforcement for Rio Grande Farmers Act, which would place tariffs on Mexico if it keeps failing to meet its obligations under the 1944 Water Treaty and would send the revenue from those tariffs to South Texas farmers hurt by the missed deliveries. She introduced the measure with Reps. Randy Weber, Michael Cloud, and Troy Nehls, and her office said repeated delays in deliveries have caused real damage to South Texas producers. “It’s time to hold the Mexican government to their agreed-upon water deliveries,” she said.
