New Challenges After Reopening The U.S.-Mexico Border

The video discusses the smooth reopening of the US-Mexico border after 20 months, allowing people to cross in just five minutes. While this is a positive development for travelers and the economy, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is preparing for increased travel volume, which could also lead to more smuggling attempts. Over the past four years, CBP has seized more opiates, including fentanyl, at El Paso ports. Criminal organizations are exploiting opportunities for profit. The reopening is welcomed by local law enforcement, who have been economically and personally affected by the pandemic.
