SAN DIEGO — Long lines at the U.S.-Mexico border are getting even longer, becoming a daily problem for hundreds of cross-border communities, including San Diego County and Tijuana residents.
More than 140,000 people cross the U.S.-Mexico border every day — more than 40,000 cross by car. In recent weeks, many drivers have grown frustrated with how long they’re waiting to go back into Mexico. Luken says one of the main reasons for the delays is infrastructure changes on the Mexican side that’s forcing the army to shut down lanes.CBP vehicle inspections heading southbound and bridge repairs in Tijuana are adding to the delays, according to Luken.
"Before we had the conventional shopper that just came and did his or her shopping. Now if you’re crossing the border, you’re really having a really good reason to cross. You’re inhibiting commerce instead of promoting commerce," said Luken.
