Keeping with its unique status as a border city, El Paso’s most effective program may be one provided by its neighbor. Mexico’s Maquiladora Program allows local companies to assemble, process or manufacture goods for exportation, duty- and tariff-free, in Mexican factories. Many workers in those factories are El Paso residents and many goods they manufacture will end up being sold in Mexico, which is the destination for about 80 percent of El Paso-exported goods.
