International Border Crossing

If you are in a car here is what you get.
Recent changes to the border crossing at San Ysidro-​Tijuana have expanded the number of lanes leading into Mexico. Now there are over double the number that used to be there. Unfortunately, they have installed state-​of-​the-​art equipment and the chance of getting an illegal shipment INTO Mexico has gone down. The time it takes to cross is nothing unless you get sent to secondary (a random event) and then it is less than 5 minutes of checking your car.
The Mexican government did all of this in a matter of months.
Typical of the American methods of contracting and working with Federal money, the return to the US side is a total effing disaster. Lanes are closed, routing is bizarre and construction of double the number of lanes leading back into the US has gone on for well over a year and there is no end in sight. Lots of temporary structues and lanes that are a nightmare to negotiate. Just like in Washington DC and the White House — no leadership, no accountability — just spend money that they steal from hard working US people.
If you are walking across the border into Mexico — it takes no time at all. If you are walking back across the border to the US, you are looking at hours standing in the sun in a line that never shrinks.
I will revise this review as time goes on… stay tuned.
