“State’s Rights!” And Other Malarkey

In the ‘60’s, Homan would be bellowing about “outside agitators!” Because American citizens from other states have no right protesting federal government actions in New Jersey. I’m sure there was no change to the food service because Homan was there. Texas Tribune:
Screwworms usually don’t stray too far from their natural tropical and subtropical climates on their own. The parasitic flies do not tolerate prolonged periods of very dry, hot, or very cold weather. Rapid spread in a country is mainly due to humans moving infested animals over large distances.

After Mexican officials confirmed a case of screwworm in November 2024, the USDA, under former President Joe Biden, closed southern ports of entry to live cattle imports to prevent the spread of screwworm into the U.S. However, the move also strained the supply of cattle in the state, hitting some in the cattle industry hard.

The USDA reversed course in February 2025, after President Donald Trump took office, announcing the opening of the ports, only to close them again in May 2025.


In an effort to prevent its spread, the USDA shut down the southern border to live animal imports in May 2025, preventing cattle from Mexico from entering the U.S. and limiting the supply of cattle in Texas.

It’s currently unknown how the screwworm infestation reached South Texas.
But it’s bound to be Biden’s fault. See?
