The US reopened its borders Monday after 20 months of travel restrictions — immediately creating wild miles-long lines of cars waiting to cross over from Canada and Mexico.
The strict restrictions, first imposed by the Trump administration in March 2020, had barred access to non-US citizens traveling from 33 countries as well as overland entry from Mexico and Canada.
But starting Monday, fully vaccinated travelers are now allowed again, with tourists rushing to make long-delayed trips and overseas family members finally able to reconnect with loved ones.
