For two centuries, Deep South Texas and Northern Tamaulipas have blended into one region that shares much in common culturally and even more economically. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of thousands of international neighbors commuted between countries every day. Many commuted for work, school, shopping or to visit family from South to North and from North to South. All this was made possible by the 28 international bridges that connect Texas to its longtime number one trading partner Mexico. But on March 20, 2020, travel by foreign nationals from Mexico and other countries into the United States came to an abrupt halt. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in a joint initiative with Mexico and Canada, blocked land entry for anyone who “potentially poses a health risk.” This included what DHS defined as “non-essential travel” by foreign nationals with valid travel visas such as tourism, shopping and family visits.
