🚨 A flesh-eating parasite the U.S. eradicated 60 years ago is BACK — and it's not an accident.
The New World Screwworm is spreading through cattle smuggling corridors into Texas, and Ammon Blair breaks down how broken border policy and corruption in Latin America turned a solved problem into a national security threat.
📍 800K+ cattle move through these trafficking routes yearly
📍 170K+ animal cases, 2,000+ human cases across Mexico & Central America
📍 USDA classifies food & agriculture as critical infrastructure
This isn't just a ranching story — it's a food supply chain story.
The Texas Public Policy Foundation’s mission is to promote and defend liberty, personal responsibility, and free enterprise in Texas and the nation by educating and affecting policymakers and the Texas public policy debate with academically sound research and outreach.
Funded by thousands of individuals, foundations, and corporations, the Foundation does not accept government funds or contributions to influence the outcomes of its research.
The public is demanding a different direction for their government, and the Texas Public Policy Foundation is providing the ideas that enable policymakers to chart that new course.
