This petition, through Change.org, has been active for several months. However, news that the U.S. closure to Mexican tourists will continue, at least until the end of November, and concerns that San Diego has a spike in the number of coronavirus cases have revived it.

Due to the Information above, the proposal has become popular. The goal is to reach 150,000 and currently there are 104,432. The author of the petition has argued that he considers it irresponsible for the authorities to allow American tourists to enter the country.

An example, he says, is what happened months ago in Los Cabos, when 28 American tourists tested positive for the coronavirus and vacationed without any restrictions, most likely being the source of several infections. The truth is that since then many similar cases have occurred in the country.

On the other hand, there are also detractors of this proposal who say that without tourism, Mexico's border and tourist cities would be even more affected by the economic crisis derived from the coronavirus pandemic.

However, there are also Mexican citizens who do not agree that the closure should be only unilateral and demand that if the Mexican citizen cannot cross, it should be the same for the foreigner.

What is your opinion?
