Showing Original Post only (View all)I was at the US Mexico border today. It was Shocking. [View all]
I was at the Rio Bosque Wildlife Refuge jus south of the El Paso water Treatment Facility right next to the Zaragosa border truck crossing. It was about 4pm when there is usually a line of Semi's a half mile long to get on Pan American then to Loop 375. Today truck traffic was so light that I could sometimes see 2 trucks at the same time, sometimes none at all. I couldn't find the daily numbers online only monthly, but I'm guessing a drop of more than 50%. This is going to bankrupt a whole lot of trucking companies in the US and also cut into rail revenue because a lot of stuff coming out of Mexico either comes by rail out of Laredo/Nueve Laredo or is transferred to rail after crossing the border. Spotted a male Black Chin hummingbird and what was probably an ICE vehicle, too.
