Sunland Park to resubmit application for new border crossing

The planned closure of an El Paso commercial port of entry is giving a New Mexico community new arguments in favor of having its own border crossing. The federal government is finalizing plans for multimillion-dollar renovations at the Bridge of the Americas cargo lanes. The work is expected to take at least three years and likely lead to a permanent ban on trucks there. In this episode of Border Report Live, we learn from Sunland Park mayor Javier Perea, that means thousands of trucks coming over from Juarez, Mexico, will have to find an alternate route to the United States. With the flagship Ysleta cargo facility already crowded, area leaders expect many of those trucks to flow to Tornillo, Texas, and Santa Teresa, New Mexico.
