By Warren Olney • • 1 min readThe recent crack down on border security has reduced the number of crossings at San Ysidro and Otay Mesa, 99% of which are perfectly legal.

That’s bad for business, not just in the border towns but all of Southern California, including LA and Orange Counties. Delays at the border are costing the region billions of dollars. How bad is it? What will it take to restore business as usual on both sides of the border?
