San Diego Mayor to advocate before the White House to end border restrictions

This Tuesday the White House will receive San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, who has in mind to discuss several issues of local relevance: one of these, the border reopening with its neighbor and business partner Tijuana, Baja California.

This was confirmed by Mayor Gloria's chief of staff, Nick Serrano, via his Twitter account:

“@MayorToddGlorialas wheels head to Washington D.C. to advocate for San Diego's major issues, including housing and homelessness, infrastructure investment and lifting cross-border travel restrictions”.

According to NBC San Diego, on Monday Todd Gloria stated that he hoped to meet with the Biden-Harris administration to advocate for a solution to the issues facing the region, among the issues he highlighted were travel restrictions.

In addition to this, the Mayor reported that he will push to advance these priorities with our federal partners as part of the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, as well as the Rebuild Better Act. The latter in order to address the housing and homelessness crisis in San Diego.

Do you think this could be the beginning of the end of the border restrictions between San Diego and Tijuana? which have been in place for about 1 year and 7 months.
