Commissioner Sid Miller has expressed his approval of former President Donald Trump's recent actions concerning the long-standing water crisis affecting the southern border of the United States. His statement comes in the wake of an agreement that would see Mexico deliver water to Texas farmers, thereby honoring its commitments under the 1944 Water Treaty.

President Trump's intervention, according to Miller, was instrumental in prompting action from Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum. "I want to thank President Trump for his firm, no-nonsense leadership in addressing the water crisis affecting our southern border," Miller said. He noted that Mexico had not met its treaty obligations for an extended period, which has significantly impacted those reliant on this vital resource.

Miller elaborated on the urgency of the issue, citing the importance of addressing not just the water shortage but underlying principles of "fairness, accountability" and support for communities. He criticized the Biden Administration for not addressing the crisis, contrasting that with Trump’s "urgent and decisive action."

According to Miller, he had previously shared his concerns with Trump and remarked on the administration's responsiveness to the matter. "I’m grateful for his proactive support. Mexico is finally taking some responsibility—no more excuses and no more delays,” Miller concluded.
