How Closing The Border Would Affect U.S. Economy, From Avocados To Autos

The President says he is aware of the economic implications but that security is more important

The Mexican avocados available here during the winter are not the same quality as avocados grown in California. I have written to the the Avocado Association complaining about that poor quality and of the small font on the label that read, Grown in Mexico”.

They were very gracious and said could not dictate the size of the print on the ‘Grown in Mexico’ labels. The Avocado ass’n also sent me an Avocado T-shirt, size small!

The good thing about closing the border is those who travel from border towns won't have the huge problem of truck drivers impeding the flow of traffic. From what I understand on I-35 from Laredo to San Antonio, the truck traffic is horrible. So many trucks traveling from Mexico without the proper inspections causing mayhem on the road. So in a sense this is a good thing. The impact on the economy may not be a great one but the bottom line is either a secure country or the continuous problem we have been experiencing. I can live without avocados for awhile. I wanted to address the guy who claimed to have lost over a thousand dollars from the border being closed for one hour. Really?! Your making over $12,000 a day selling some pastries? Quit lying!
