Lawmaker says other commercial ports in West Texas, New Mexico can handle truck traffic no longer going to BOTA
 
EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – A federal agency is proposing permanently banning commercial truck traffic from the Bridge of the Americas in El Paso, U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, said on Friday.

The General Services Administration’s recommendation comes as the federal government readies a multimillion-dollar overhaul on one of the busiest ports of entry on the U.S.-Mexico border. The agency will open a 45-day public comment period on the proposed redesign of the structure ending Nov. 4, Escobar said.
 
“I know that the announcement of no commercial traffic on the Bridge of the Americas (BOTA) as part of the environmental impact statement phase will be great news for some members of our binational community and will be unwelcome news for some members of our binational community,” the congresswoman from El Paso said during an online briefing with reporters.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I wonder how much money will "mysteriously" turn up in his bank account if this goes through?  Being a democrat means there is some payoff for him somewhere. 888sunglass

How about proposing a permanent 'illegals' ban?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
