Borderlands Mexico reports that Mexican truckers have escalated their protests over the uncertainty surrounding B-1 visa rules, risking disruption of cross-border trade between Mexico and the United States. CANACAR, Mexico's National Chamber of Freight Transportation, claims that hundreds of thousands of visas have been revoked, with over 4,000 in the Tijuana area alone.
Drivers are frustrated by the lack of clear protocols and statistics from U.S. authorities, which could lead to further visa losses. Truckers blocked commercial traffic at the Mexicali, Mexico-Calexico East border crossing, urging for more transparency and binational solutions from Mexican and U.S. officials.
