Cars assembled in the USA now cost more because of those border security
measures. The car makers had all reorganised themselves for JIT delivery
of parts to the plants, but this doesn't work anymore because of the
random delivery times due to border congestion. Both the car makers and
truckling companies suffer because of this.
