McALLEN, Texas | He threatens to become the Rio Grande Valley's ambassador to Mexico. We speak of Mayor Javier Villalobos, who keeps mining our southern neighbor for business.
This from the McAllen mayor about his latest effort: [ Visiting with Mayor of Mier y Noriega. Our Mexican partners play a vital part of the RGV’s economy. We must keep on building our relationships with our Nuevo León communities. A majority of companies coming from China are relocating in the northern part of Mexico and our area complements the necessary trade and commerce for the benefit of both Mexico and the U.S. ]
Sounds like the effort is worth all it could bring to The City of Palms.
Villalobos seems to have made seeking new commerce with Mexico a signature venture of his administration.
Nothing wrong with that.
Earlier, the mayor visited Tampico on Mexico's Gulf Coast and Monterrey inland.
Trade with Mexico has long been a part of the Valley's existence...

Hope this pans out. There is a lot of competition for Mexican trade these days. China, especially.
