The U.S. is too bought into security theaterism for this to happen. The border especially the southern border should feel like a state border. Border towns already have probably half their commuters playing this stupid "heres my papers sir" fascist border crossing game to go work their retail job in El Paso or wherever.

San diego transit would run into TJ if this world had any logic, but instead you exit the train from san diego a few feet from the border and have to cross by foot into tj, because security theater. Meanwhile the cartel just reacts by opening more labs and grow operations stateside or digging tunnels themselves instead of having their business be at all affected by this security theater.
