True, but if the unions didn’t have the ports tied down so tight, the employers would be able to hire the many US citizens who would do the job for a reasonable wage without having to worry about importing cheap labor. There’s no way $140k is the market price for that kind of work — except when the market is distorted by organized labor.

If it is not going to be the sovereign territory of Mexico (where the Mexican customs officials will be doing their inspections) then there is no need for the State Department to be involved.

Additionally, Mexican customs officials can only enforce their law on their territory. Our pre-inspection facilities at airports, etc. are the sovereign territory of the U.S. If it wasn’t we could not enforce our Customs laws.
