DHS, southern border states face economic hurdle as Biden admin stays mum on lifting travel restrictions
Fox News
President Biden has been silent on when he will reopen the border, which has been closed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
DHS depends on the revenue from legal southern border crossings for funding, and communities along the border also make critical cash off people crossing over the border into the U.S. The Baker Institute for Public Policy at Rice University in Houston, Texas, estimates Texas border counties will lose $4.9 billion in total GDP from Mexican tourists and shoppers being unable to cross the border, equating to 6.1% of total GDP.More Related News
