Tijuana, Mexico (CNN) — On Tijuana’s Avenue de la Revolucion, street vendor and sidewalk philosopher Juan Ramon Rocha leaned on his coin and jewelry cart and waited.

But the tourists from across the border never rushed into the streets of T.J., as it’s often called.

Rocha made one sale, to a local resident, in an hour.

“The business, you can see for yourself, it went down 95 percent,” he said. “Please tell them, the Americans, it’s safe to come here. We are all Americanos, North Americanos. Do you see any problems here?”
