Squeezing Border Businesses

According to HispanicBusiness.com, "The nation's pursuit of a sealed border would cost taxpayers and businesses tens of billions of dollars."

The article particularly focuses on the high costs of border enforcement, as well as flagging spending by Mexican consumers who cross the border to shop in American businesses. Long lines for legal entry have reduced incentives for Mexicans to spend money in the US, potentially costing American businesses on the border billions of dollars.
