Several community and business leaders from San Ysidro and beyond penned a letter to CBP citing 10 suggestions on making the border better for all
"Ten ways that don’t need millions of dollars, don’t necessitate hundreds of officers," said Jason Wells the executive director of the San Ysidro Chamber of Commerce.
The letter cites how CBP can use current enhanced technology — like installing document readers in pedestrian lanes — to help speed up the lines. "One of the big pieces is the evaluation of risk," Wells said."What that means is that a pedestrian with no luggage has nothing to do with a semi-trailer with big wheels, so we shouldn’t have wait lines in pedestrian lanes."
The letter also calls on improving things like officers' “customer service” and establishing a more efficient procedure for vehicles sent to secondary inspection. "They're putting their effort, their time, and their tears and sweat because they love this place," said Diego Alaniz about his parents restaurant, El Rincon, which is on San Ysidro Boulevard.
