Dear Friends & Customers,

A brief update regarding the Southern Border and possible closure:

This morning at about 9:35 PST President Trump said that if they do anything along the Southern Border, it would not affect essential business.  When asked to explain what was essential business, he said  it was Medical, Military, and Industry.  He also said that TRADE would not be affected.  One important comment he made when asked directly if he was going to “close” the southern border, he answered “no, but we are going to invoke a clause that will give us great latitude”. 

 He wants to prevent “leisurely” cross border traffic. 

 Although his comments were brief, it does give us an idea of where this could go.   It is very similar with what U.S. and Canada are doing. 

 In the meantime, we have contacted our local CBP Officers in Calexico and they confirmed that both, commercial and passenger lanes, are open.

CBP informed us that if anything changes, they would send a Port Information Notice (PIN) to notify us.

I hope this helps ease a little of the uncertainty.  We will send information as we receive it.

Kind Regards,

 RL Jones
