“The last time I was in Baja California that this program was going to be launched and now I have come to tell you that it is going to become a reality, and tomorrow (Saturday) we sign the agreement, the Secretary of the Interior, the Legal Counselor and we are going to regularize all the vehicles that transit throughout this border area, in all the municipalities of Baja California, the entire State, the vehicles will be regularized. They are going to contribute an amount, they are going to contribute, I think they are going to contribute around 2,500 pesos to obtain the regularization of their cars, “he said. 

So far and according to the censuses, Baja California is seeking to regularize about 800 thousand units and it is expected that in the coming weeks there will be more.
