Fun (and frustrating) times in Rocky Point
PUERTO PEÑASCO, Sonora, México — Just as before, working in Mexico has proven to be both fun and frustrating. Right now the governors of the U.S. border states are meeting directly upstairs from where I'm sitting, but the event staff are just ushering TV camera crews and print photogs in for a few minutes at a time. No reporting on the entire meeting allowed. (I asked.)
Other meetings here at the Border Governors Conference have had similar press setups or they've been closed altogether, and we've run into a few conflicts over credentials to boot. Así es la Conferencia de los Gobernadores Fronterizos, I suppose.
