As I noted above "Once you get the slaugher houses back, you get the regulations back into US hands, shorter and more humane hauls for the horses, and an easier situation for local people to monitor the slaugher houses."
I've got a lot better chance to be able to reach and monitor a slaughter facility in the USA than Mexico or even Canada.
