**Accountability Needed: Texas Governor Takes Stand Against Mexico’s Treaty Violations**
In a bold move, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has decided to accept water from Mexico under strict conditions that uphold the integrity of the 1944 Water Treaty.
This decision comes after prolonged frustration among Texas farmers and communities who have been adversely affected by Mexico's repeated failures to deliver the water they are obligated to provide.
Abbott's administration made it clear that while Texas is accepting an offer of 120,000 acre-feet of water from the San Juan River, this is just a fraction of what is required under the treaty. Mexico is behind on its obligations, with a staggering projected deficit of 1.3 million acre-feet of water looming over the state.
Water rights have emerged as a critical issue for Texans, particularly in the fertile Rio Grande Valley, where farmers rely heavily on these resources for their livelihoods. The area has suffered immensely due to inadequate water delivery—so much so that the last remaining sugar operation in Texas was forced to shut down, a direct consequence of federal inaction and Mexico's treaty breaches.
Abbott's clear stance is that Texas will not accept Mexico's offer unless it adheres strictly to the terms outlined in the treaty. The San Juan River is not among the six designated tributaries from which Mexico is required to supply water. In Abbott's own words, “Texas stands firm in its position… that those commitments may be satisfied only with water from the six named tributaries.”
This situation highlights the broader failure of the Biden administration to protect American agricultural interests, something that has been acknowledged by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. A bill proposed in Congress, championed by Republican Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, seeks to withhold federal aid to Mexico until it meets its treaty obligations—a move that reflects the urgency and seriousness of the water crisis facing Texas.
Governor Abbott's direct action underscores the need for adherence to commitments in international agreements. As Texas prepares for potential water shortages, the emphasis is on holding Mexico accountable and ensuring that Americans receive what they are owed.
It is time for the U.S. government to recognize the severity of the situation and take decisive action to defend the interests of American farmers and communities. Texas will continue to fight for its rightful share of water resources, proving that accountability must be a priority in all international dealings.
