dc.description.abstractThere is much interconnection between Tijuana and San Diego. They co-exist, co-depend and are inextricably linked. Socially, there is more hindrance to complete integration than in economically. Trumpist rhetoric has caused a decrease in border crossings, commercial sales and Mexican visitor numbers to San Diego. Trumpism also closely relates to increasing stereotyping and increased tensions. Pairing with creating negativity and normalization of discrimination, hate and blaming immigrants, Trumpism has strengthened and awakened lingering polarization issues. Economically, so far little has changed; the social spectrum is affected more drastically, especially with regards to immigration and integration. However, as many supplier networks in the region work cross-border, Trumpist interference may cause a negative multiplier effect. Regardless of what happens in the federal government however, the bi-national region is too highly interconnected socially and economically for cross-border flows to stop completely. It is advisable for locals to invest in infrastructure projects and to lobby towards the federal governments. Steering the increased involvement of federal governments and encouraging local organizations are two main preconditions for local and bi-national development. It is also important for both sides to find the optimal balance of proximity in order to gain mutual benefits as a cross-border system.en_US
