Can't say. Details are sketchy. >

The weird thing is that the person who was shot was a Mexican citizen who apparently lived just south of the border, which is kind of unusual since most border crossers are people from much farther away- either Mexicans from the places like rural central Mexico or even South Americans. Supposedly he’d crossed the and been deported before, which at the very least would have made it much more difficult for him to get a visa.
Over a million people legally cross the US-Mexico border every day, it’s not uncommon for many people to have jobs on one side of the border and their homes on the other. Despite what some people might think, there are actually plenty of different visa programs designed to facilitate movement of workers from Mexico to the US. In particular, the H-2A Visa for agricultural workers is notable for not having a cap on the number of visas that can be issued. >

At one of our job sites in El Paso a good bit of our employees we’re living in Mexico. Their money went further there.
