American businesses near the Mexican border say it's time to end a pandemic-related ban on nonessential border crossings. The ban is up for renewal this week, and Gerry Schwebel with IBC Bank in Laredo says it needs to be lifted. Businesses near the border rely on Mexican customers, and Schwebel says an extension of the ban on cross-border shoppers would be devastating. The next three months are their prime time, with Mexican nationals coming north for the holidays.
