TIJUANA, Mexico (Border Report) — Tijuana’s mayor, Arturo González Cruz, is not haggling with dozens of vendors who peddle piñatas, blankets, wrestling masks, pots and piggy banks out of makeshift stands that line the northbound lanes at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.


The mayor is pushing out the vendors over safety and traffic concerns.


González says these vendors won’t be allowed to operate unless they clean up their stands and bring them up to code.


“We have intervened, we have seen many of these businesses simply not comply with regulations, and that’s why our urban development department has notified the vendors about their violations and need to shut down,” González said.


Inspectors say they have found unsafe electrical cords all over the place and that the vendors often set up their wares on the traffic lanes and sidewalks, impeding the flow of people crossing the border.

There should be a clear "buffer zone" at the Border Patrol checkpoints.

What if there is a fire?

Clear this garbarge out for the safety of the agents, alleviate the congestion, and the agents have a clear view of massive MOBS of illegal aliens trying to cross and rush our border checkpoints so they are ready to stop them without all this obstruction in the roads.
