Border
US border will remain closed again
Forum Discussion
Thanks guys.
That is incredibly interesting (and, extremely worrying). So, no equivalency exists for virtually anyone with a driver's license and a US passport to simply drive an RV (or, a car for that matter) across the Mexican border into the US for a Canadian (or, Mexican) friend, or relative for said relative(s) to retrieve later in the US (or simply acting as a good Samaritan) ? Just to be clear: not importing a vehicle for later sale and/or permanent entry into the US.
In Canada, virtually anyone legally allowed into the US (presently, only returning US nationals, or dual citizens; previously to the pandemic, all Canadian citizens) and holding a valid driver's license can drive an RV rig (or passenger car) across the US border for say, an elderly relative heading down to snowbird; or a friend simply wanting their vehicle driven across the border for later pick up by the Canadian RV or vehicle owner(s). So, the USMC agreement isn't about the free flow of goods and services entre Mexico / Canada / US at all; there exists absolutely no uniformity of application as the EU presently enjoys.
Now I am starting to understand the broken system of reciprocity here at play. There is in effect no free flow of goods and services, and tourism between Mexico / US and Canada. The USMCA is essentially a sham purporting to be genuine. This would explain entirely this log-jam under the guise of a (post-vaccine!) pandemic. Anyone else care to venture thoughts? Does this sound like logical thought on my part?
