Unlike the Tijuana project, which is an airport in Mexico with a bridge to the US, in both BSL and GVA you could use either the French or Swiss side of the airport without crossing over to the other side. (Both are now in the Schengen zone, meaning French visas are valid in Switzerland and vice versa, so the distinction is no longer necessary.)
- rmc 13y agoIn the Schengen Zone, you can just drive across the border, there might be a flag at the border to tell you when you've crossed (or more importantly) a sign telling you the new road traffic laws. And of course citizens of both countries can live and work in each other for as long as they like. Can't see the USA & Mexico doing that.

We already do that, although its only one direction and technically not legal. Its actually pretty hard for a US dude to work illegally in .mx, like if you wanted to be a web dev in Mex City. Don't confuse a militarized photo op area thats about 500 feet wide with the rest of the thousands of miles of border.
