Despite the shooting rampage in El Paso that appeared to target Hispanics, Mexicans are still crossing the international bridges to the Texan city, going to jobs, stores and schools, like always.
Commuters wait in traffic on the Paso del Norte bridge, as they enter El Paso, Texas, from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2019. Days after the attack in El Paso, community leaders in Ciudad Juarez didn’t talk of boycotting the city that depends heavily on Mexican shoppers. On the contrary, in the following days Mexicans have packed the international bridges going to jobs, stores and schools like always.
What fear some express about the attack is mixed with a practical concern that somehow the massacre may lead to longer wait times for entering El Paso. But even such a horrendous crime will not have a lasting impact on the relationship between the two cities, Rubio said. On Tuesday, wait times for vehicles entering El Paso from Juarez were still around the usual two hours plus. A steady stream of pedestrians flowed across the Paso del Norte bridge in the morning and a similar flow came in the reverse direction in the afternoon.
Graciela Pérez walked across to El Paso early Tuesday morning to shop as she does once a week. She had tried to go Monday, but the line was so long she put her journey off a day.
