But in post 72 you claimed they do have their cars inspected ---there's no reason to claim they do because it's not true.

"According to data from the Juarez General Police, there are 360,000 cars operating in the City and an estimated 60% of these cars are 1985 models or older. Furthermore, the ITESM calculates that only about 15 to 20% of the cars in Juarez meet proper emission standards while the rest have either never been checked or aren't checked enough to indicate whether an engine tune up is required."

If the car is registered in a Texas attainment area, it has to be inpected for emissions. Regardless of who drives it. If it is register in Mexico, Arkansas, or west Texas there is no emissions testing required. If you drove your car to California, where emissions requirements are tighter than in Texas, should you be required to have your vehicle inspected there?
