Presumably that was April, 2012, if they're just starting
construction this year.

Big Bend-Mexico Crossings
There has been a bit more publicity in the press about the "opening
of the (Class B) Border Crossing at Boquillas". Doesn't say much
more in the way of specifics than has been speculated on in this forum before.
Alpine Avalanche January 13, 2011 reports this as US Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Alan Bersin set up a podium on
the US side of the Boquillas crossing and said Great Words.
The Avalanche Publisher (John Dilmore) states: "Work is slated to
begin in July with the first public crossing to take place in April 2010."
Whatever exactly "public crossing" means. Who knows, but I still
don't envision a truck full of Texas Cavers sloshing North from the
Sierra del Carmine being met with open arms. Let me know what you find out.

FYI - Class B port of entry
Class B ports of entry are ports designated for foreign national's
who at the time of applying for admission are permanent residents in
possession of a foreign national registration receipt card (Form
I-151 or I-551; 'Green Card'), a valid nonresident foreign national
border crossing card, or who are admissible without documents under
documentary waiver provisions
