The Logistics Hub Where Almost $1 Billion of Products Pass Through Daily | WSJ

Congrats to Mexico

oh and the Chinese goods can ship with drugs … how convenient

I live on the border city of El Paso Texas, the infrastructure is being built in the city to handle the large influx of products that will come from Mexico. Warehouses are being built in a crazy amount to store products as they pass the border and prepare for shipment. The federal government also plans on building a new border bridge strictly for trucks to cross over.

Texas wins again!

When NAFTA was implemented in 1994 more Mexicans left the country than ever before. You would have thought that Mexico would get rich from it. It didn't happen and it's probably worse now than it was. So don't count on it.

If the U.S. is gonna do one thing is consume consume consume.

I hope Mexico can increase employment and thus banish drug cartels.

At this point, just bring manufacturing back to the US

Hello!!! Move manufacturing back to America so we can support and strengthen our own economy and military posture. It's all motivated by the dollar. Strong leadership would realize how this would be a better way over a more prosperous revenue. Greed had been the main factor... wisdom over greed.

I didn't know we were nearshoring more. We might need the upgrade the highway infrastructure to move all those trucks

Stealing is from who?

Gawd daym, imagine the emissions saved, if they would build a railway to transport the containers over the border!

better mexico than china

Imagine taxing a billion in weed cegerattew made from Mexico hemp

This isnt real manufacturing, its just bolting parts together. Real manufacturing takes a lot of fossil fuel energy, especially coal for steel production.

Why all these trucks instead of several trains ?

My home town!!

Laredo elite have been bragging about Laredo’s growth for quite some time now. This has unfortunately not translated to a better quality of life/life expectancy, instead poverty continues to increase. Given the commodities simply move through Laredo, the local’s working class income/purchasing power is historically below the median. There is “Growth” for a few executives and business owners who don’t even live or spend their time/money in the city, but no “growth” for the average working class constituency in Laredo(s).

Mexico do not sell ur land or factory to China pls

Love the idea of replacing Made in China with Made in Mexico!

Mexico is not threatening anyone with WW3!

Laredo residents suffer because this is priority here. Factories, paving and demolition of natural land to accommodate for this. Tractor trailers have hardly any limitations on where to drive. Thus making roads extremely uneven and dangerous. Insurance, housing and food is extremely high there. The city residents get nothing. Employees get paid very little and residents practically need to beg for any improvements of city development. Historical buildings are left to crumble and the city doesn’t invest a penny.

I am loving this shift from China. I just hope we are completely decoupled from China in few years. India and Mexico are the only one who deserves our business.

and yet they are still paying bellow minimum wage.

Viva north america❤❤❤❤

So the usa mexico and canada gonna need more immmigrants.
Canada is literaly empty ; the country only has a population of 33 millions lots of rooms to grow. So let the illegals immigrants in 😅😅😅

Forgot inter oceans canal Maya train project operations soon shipping China. Usa. Germany 60 country eastern usa Read. Inter oceans canal open December?

Inter oceans canal big project operations very soon train ships oil gasoline goods gas Germany gas China etc etc etc 10 factory parks 112,000 worker

Expect many more Quiktrip gas stations in Laredo, Tx.

Truth, they’re in Mexico to avoid taxes

Lo que afecta a México y USA en el comercio son las caravanas de migrantes de centroamérica y Venezuela y cubanos y se pierden millones de dólares por día cuando tienen que serrar las fronteras

Looks like a giant conveyor belt would do more good than trucks. lol

Nuevo León has no water

Are they counting the drugs ? I think it is more money

Wooo!!! all those bricks crossing the border !!!

Yeah, we don’t need to improve our rail system. Why would we do that?

They just got to get rid of the cartel and could be more prosperous.

There's more production in Juarez than Laredo, and right next to El Paso

If you are a Mexican semi truck driver and you pass the US border into United States are you subject to being paid a minimum wage in the United States or are you still at Mexican wages?

Canada - United States - Mexico united into the largest most powerful nation in the world - no more mexicans illegally entering the US - just one nation - with a year round food production - plenty of fuel - plenty workers - largest market for goods and sevices - North America!

Drugs money guns and people come across

that is why they should open all the closes border railway corridors and add highways like I-11 and ....

trump made mexico great again while destroying usa

That's not true it is and will always be cheaper to move goods by water. Lerado will not be the busiest nor biggest us port

I do think in our lifetime we might see the standard of living in Mexico, Canada and US be comparative. Bringing 120 million people into the middle class in North America is a win for the region…without getting political Mexico is a much better manufacturing hub for the US than China…Made in Mexico might be the standard soon

Truckers recognize that thumbnail instantly.

Crazy how much happens in Laredo yet there’s no good paying jobs.

Cuious, how many manufacturing plants are owned by China?

Still no one has anything good to say, and i said it months ago, but I'll say it again, this won't work, ever wonder why the usa's allies like canadians and isrealis don't do this type of work, I'll tell you why because it's a scam, this won't make anyone rich but the rich American ceos. If you want real growth go to china, and before anyone says I'm a Chinese bot for saying mexico should go to china to seek deepening economic ties with china. Americans have literally said they want MADE IN AMERICA 🇺🇸. Last time I checked mexico wasn't the 51st state. Knowing that there is only one country big enough for drive rapid economic growth through trade and investment, aka china. If there were more countries I would have said go seek a partnership with other countries, but besides the us there is only china. I'll put it simple AMERICANS WANT AMERICAN MADE GOODS NOT MEXICAN MADE GOODS. If mexico wants growth it need to go to china 🇨🇳

I'll summarize what i said. Americans WANT AMERICAN MADE GOODS NOT MEXICAN MADE GOODS. If mexico wants growth it need to go to china 🇨🇳. Kapish????? Or am I lying. Also the fact that millions of Africans, Chinese, Indians, Southeast Asians, Venezuelans etc etc cross through mexico to get to the usa but none of them want to stay doesn't tell you anything about how bad of an economic plan this is
