Tell me you've never been to west Texas.

The next closest airport is Juarez, it's like 6 miles away, full fledged international airport. It's a few hours walk at worst.

They really prefer you have a passport now, and the vast majority of people do not. Also, I doubt this admin would mind if there was suddenly an uptick in one way travel into Mexico

...In Mexico, sure. The closest major US airport to El Paso is Albuquerque or Tucson, 4 hours each.
