This report details the cutback:
Mexico’s Tax Administration began reducing hours in all its customs offices along the U.S. border on July 4.
Officials say the changes will help them to better utilize staff, technology and infrastructure for the processing of merchandise.
But Mexican citizens bringing back used vehicles purchased in the U.S. through Santa Teresa, New Mexico say the new hours have left them frustrated. Drivers say they have had to wait several hours or even overnight to get across.

@IngrahamAngle we should be making it harder for them. Cut off their money supply with our tourism.

Making it more difficult to cross the border? What a novel idea.
