US meltdown impact on Mexico


Anyone seeing evidence of impact to Mexican economy from the US govt debacle (aside from the peso's decline)?

NY Times says this: For Mexico, the risks of an American default are enormous. The government shutdown has already doubled wait times at some border crossings, slowing commerce with the United States, Mexico’s largest trading partner. The Mexican peso has fallen to a two-month low, and many business owners are anxious about what will come next.

Really? Wait times at border have doubled? OMG

Great headline: "With G.O.P. Badly Divided, Boehner Is Left ‘Herding Cats’"

It may have affected cross-border commerce if there has been layoffs, but I haven't heard any grumbling down here.
