This has absolutely nothing to do with San Fiego International, which is not close to the actual border. Tijuana's airport, in contrast, straddles the border. So a pedestrian bridge merely provides easier access from Tijuana's airport to the US.

Some transportation center would have to be built. Passengers arriving in the US would need taxis, buses, rental cars, drop off and pick up spots, etc. Since San Diego (and it's airport) are still are a good ride away, new separate facilities would be needed for Tijuana's walking-across-the-border passengers.
