Pressure mounts on Biden administration to lift restrictions on US borders
CNN
A group of mayors recently pressed US immigration officials on Covid-19-related travel restrictions that remain in effect and threaten to further hurt their local economies. The question on their minds: Why has cross-border travel, which has been suspended for more than a year, not been allowed to resume?
Officials didn't have an answer. "If the government does not want to lift those restrictions, they need to provide a compelling reason why," Mayor Trey Mendez of Brownsville, Texas, told CNN, citing a downward trend in Covid-19 cases in his city and access to vaccines.More Related News
