Is there any reason to prevent Mexico from closing the border???

If they wanted too.

1. Closing the border in the sense that there would be no exports or imports from the U.S.?

That'd be some serious stuff.

2. There's about 20 billion dollars in trade each direction every month

Not sure what you mean by 'prevent'?

3. Why would they? There's an enormous amount of cross-border trade

and it would be financially disastrous for both sides.

4. Mexico will not close the border

Why would they? There is a ton of commerce happening everyday at border points! Hell! South Texas has a booming economy with people moving goods back and forth. Many of the small towns in South Texas depend on it!

5. No. Is there any reason to NOT open the border from Mexico?

Sometimes we don't ask the correct questions. Why isn't the Mexico border an open border?

6. Mexico will not shut the door to its former territories.

7. I hope they dont close the border yet

I am visiting Ajijic later this year with thoughts of retiring there.
