16 hour wait to cross (legally) from Mexico to US.


Very close friend has Hispanic granddaughter who was born here. She was visiting her relatives in Mexico. Papers in order, etc, but the problem was the 16 hour wait in line, in a car, to even get to US border check, last week.
"The line stretched for miles" she reported.

Very happy the young lady is back home, they are not planning any more trips until the situation is resolved,
They were in Mexico when Trump pulled his shutdown stunt.

I dunno how the trucking industry works with border crossing, but I would assume this is having a hell of a financial impact.
