Has anybody heard any progress about the Pre-clearance facility at Montreal? Seems like a win-win for all parties involved. I get there are a lot of hoops to jump through here regarding red-tape but its been nearly 10 YEARS since this project was "fast tracked" by the Obama administration. And thats a long time to move/hire maximum 5 employees from Rouses Point, move them to Montreal, set up some barracading, and build a booth. I know I'm simplifying, but look what Brightline has done in 5-years.
Also, I understand that if implemented in the Trump administration, this legislation/funding will have to be stapled on the back of something else because with 2020 fast approaching, Donny doesn't want his name attached to anything involved with better/increased border traffic, public funding assisting Amtrak, cooperation with Justin Trudeau, or really anything benefiting the Northeastern quadrant of the US(who won't vote for him no matter what he does).
I'm just curious if this is still slowly trodding along behind the scenes or is it DOA?
