U.S. authorities encourage travelers to have vaccine documents ready and to cross at non-peak hours if possible
Chula Vista resident Salomón Maya has been trying to get to his cousin’s wedding since April 2020.
Border communities on both sides heaved a sigh of relief — while at the same time bracing for what could be very heavy traffic, long waits and crowds at the land ports. For cross-border traveling purposes, the vaccine has to be one cleared by U.S. regulators or for emergency use by the World Health Organization., the accepted COVID-19 vaccines are a single dose of Janssen/J&J OR a two-dose series of Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna.
The restrictions have mostly kept Mexican citizens with visas or border crossing cards from visiting the United States. That’s because U.S. citizens like Maya and legal permanent residents can’t be stopped from returning home to the United States after crossing into Mexico, regardless of their reason. Mexico never closed its northern borders to incoming visitors.
Wells and other public officials in border communities had advocated for the restrictions to be lifted sooner, saying they were left in place because those communities lack representation in Washington, D.C. Retail tourism was the second-biggest contributor to San Diego’s economy before the pandemic.
The new rules apply only to legal entry. Those who enter illegally will continue to be subject to expulsion under a public health measure that allows for the swift removal of migrants, including those seeking asylum.
