Introduction
As a former mayor of a border city in Arizona, Director of the Arizona Department of Commerce, Chief of Staff at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and now CEO of Intermestic Partners—an international business advisory firm founded in 2011 that specializes in cross-border trade and development—I’ve seen firsthand how technology reshapes U.S.-Mexico trade. Our modern era has unlocked dynamic digital platforms, streamlined regulations, and enhanced trust between trading partners.
The San Ysidro port of entry processes over 70,000 northbound vehicle passengers daily—surpassing entire city populations.
