Hundreds of Mexicans and Americans who live south of the border enter southern California's hospitals every day.
EL CENTRO, Calif. - Hundreds of Mexicans and Americans who live south of the border enter southern California’s hospitals every day.
Over a thousand nurses, medical technicians, and support workers who live in the Mexican border towns of Tijuana, Tecate and Mexicali work in the United States, Mexican census data shows. They staff emergency rooms, COVID-19 testing sites, dialysis centers and pharmacies. In recent weeks, U.S. officials and California hospitals raised alarms about U.S. citizens living in Mexico crossing the border for treatment as COVID-19 cases surged in Tijuana and Mexicali.
“This is a workforce that is needed in the hospital,” said Dr. Andres Smith, medical director of emergency services at Sharp Chula Vista in San Diego. Emerald Textiles, the largest health care laundry service in San Diego, said more than half its employees live in Tijuana.
