At the border, which I just left yesterday, it is quieter than usual. The thousands of people waiting for a chance to cross are being held back from presenting themselves at the ports of entry by, of all people, Mexican authorities. Uniformed functionaries stand at the foot of the bridge in Mexico to make sure that only people who have appointments through CBPOne can reach the CBP officers that stand in the middle of the arc that spans the river. The others are being prevented from even asking for a chance.
