It's not just oil terminals and tankers in Mexico that create security concerns for the United States...Mexican seaports often are used to transship cargo, meaning that containers from a third country are unloaded there, then placed on another ship bound for the United States or transferred to rail cars and trucks to cross the 2,000-mile-long land border...9,000 trucks a day enter US.
