Laredo, Texas. If people want to fight those issues, and of course we do want to fight those issues, we should vote for the person that will or will not allow for those issues.
But going back to… I wouldn't want a strictly militarized border. The optics are not conducive for friendliness, but yet, they're there. So we have this opportunity here: This election to cast our vote, and that could stop the wall or the wall will continue.
How has that changed your economic outlook for the city? But we understand why too Things are getting better here in our city. We want them to continue getting better. My understanding is Nuevo Laredo is also getting better. But I think we're still far removed from having the border entirely opened. I would truly want to see that. But I do see the tremendous progress we've made here locally, and so we take it day by day, week by week and see how things progress. In the event that they do open, I would like to see the federal government scrutinize medically, whoever, comes in the non-essentials, and everyone really, and so we can be more preventative, and cautious.
But it remains to be seen. See, before this issue came up, we were having trouble even creating ER capacity in our hospitals. Now we do have a little capacity. But that doesn't mean things can turn for the worst again, because we know how this virus is and we've seen it in other communities.
It could easily spring up again. And that's the fear that we have, but again, our businesses, the economy is hurting. So, again, we have to be prudent and evaluate and, and follow what the medical authority is telling us to a greater extent. She is a corps member of Report For America.
