Do you have what it takes?

The city of Calexico recently lost it's city manager and a new one is in need.

So, to help out this community, I am putting out the call for any people with experience to come and apply for the position.

The challenges are many.

Calexico already has a budget loss issue, as does the whole state of California. Also, there are other issues with the businesses, economic development, pollution, unemployment, old infrastructure, and the fact that "it's cheaper" to cross the border and buy in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico.

Mexicali has close to a million people, and has a wide financial base. However, long lines to cross the border discourage middle and upper class citizens from shopping in the United States. As it stands, only working class Mexicans cross the border to shop in Calexico. The rest wait an hour to drive across and shop at a mall in El Centro.

There are a lot of challenges, but also a lot of opportunities. If someone wanted to make a name for themselves and gain a lot of attention, Calexico is the place to do it.

Someone with experience with a border community, especially Mexico, is desired. Also someone familiar with economic development, "Going Green," and who can speak Spanish fluenty is desired. The pay may not be much, but that is all the more incentive to make Calexico economically viable. The potential is there.

i understand your frustration. I may be mexican but the truth is that

the USA is not your country and therefore you do not deserve anything from this country instead of demanding for full citizenship we should be thankful
