...they will fall by the wayside as they too need approval...
The issue is Aduana cannot capitalize on ciudadanos shopping in the USA border zone and that is sucking hundreds of millions of dollars out of the economy. Motorists purchase a tankful of gasoline at Costco that is eighty a gallon cents less expensive than at home.
Tourists who have never crossed at Garita 2 or Otay Mesa cannot imagine the traffic flow, and the number of full size pickup trucks overloaded with purchases destined for the SAT parking lot.
Garita 2 is not Pharr Texas or El Pazo. The traffic count must be 100x higher. And even the tiny cars are jam packed with clothes, food, electronics.
SAT Secondaria? It's clogged with people declaring 60" flat screen TV's and a pickup load of materials from Home Depot or Costco. I would hazard a guess that I saw a thousand people in Costco Chula Vista. It was jam packed to the point where a person had to wait for a free shopping cart. I was # 6 waiting for a disabled electric cart. It was shoulder to shoulder inside, everyone chattering in Spanish. Shopping cards were mountainous, some families commandeered three to four carts. They were all Bajacalifornianos.
Count the cars in the parking lot. A shocking number are B.C. Baja California plated. "Shocking" means >60%. Same for the line st the gasoline pumps.
The loss of an opulent airport in DF will not lose Aduana hundreds of millions of dollars a year in tax revenue from Tijuana and Mexicali retailers. These shopkeepers are screaming their head off.
The frontera will get their tax reduction. Exactly like they got their extended no-tourist-card needed FMM exemption.
Senadores are getting visits from folks to encourage them to not vote the tax reduction down. Money is the strongest of Lobbyists.
