southbound inspections a month away

del mar - 4-12-2019 at 12:23 PM



"Permanent southbound inspection booths coming to San Ysidro this summer. The San Ysidro Land Port of Entry (LPOE), Phase 3 project is designed to address travel delays that will come due to increased inspections on southbound vehicle traffic entering Tijuana via the I-5 / Chaparral border crossing into Mexico".
The southbound Interstate-5 will be expanded from 5 to 10 lanes in addition to the installation of 10 new inspection booths. This project will include new southbound primary and secondary vehicle inspection canopies along with access roadways through the LPOE to and from Mexico.

The project also includes the expansion of the northbound primary vehicle inspection canopy and will create 8 additional lanes with 15 northbound inspection booths.

Ok, I read "entering Tijuana" not 'leaving the U.S.', in the article.
Thanks.

Bajazly - 4-12-2019 at 02:57 PM

They don’t like us going there and just want to make it as big of a pain in azz for all of us who do go there.

Customs and Border Protection? A U.S. operation?

My next question is - will they have a SENTRI lane?

3 mi.? Have been searched walking into TJ by SD Cops,
they typically say they are looking for firearms, and the

So... to clarify, is this US inspections of those of us leaving the country or Mexico inspections of those of us entering Mexico?

Are we just being encouraged to enter through Otay, or ?

[Edited on 4-13-2019 by TedZark]


Searching citizens leaving, intimidating citizens leaving, threatening to close the border to all travel, talk of walls to keep us in and keep them out, steady stream of lies and crimes by president and cabinet members...
Sounds like soviet curtain part deux, the reality tv cheetoh head version!

Yes, to clarify, USA wants strip search you and make sure you don’t take any fun things to Mexico!

Expect the same thing soon at Otay and all other borders xings, it’s trump big beautiful wall!

Bajazly - 4-12-2019 at 07:19 PM

How long will it be before all the crossings are gonna have a strip search going in. Just another point of intimidation.

And why would SD cops care if you are taking firearms into Mexico? Not their concern or job to prevent.

So tired of this never-ending political BS all because your lady lost.
The lies all came from the Democrats... NO Collusion with Russia from the Republicans... Hillary paid for the phony report and Hillary destroyed emails, servers, devices. Comey and the whole Obama cabinet were spying on Americans. Where is your outrage or is the good of the Party outweigh the rights of our citizens. The Soviet Socialist States of America is your dream?


Mueller’s report has evidence of substantial crimes. That’s why Barr won’t release it, is redacting the incriminating evidence.


Trump is a crook, why just today came news that cheetoh head last week instructed the CBP head to commit crimes and cheetoh head would pardon him if prosecuted... every day a new outrage to the democracy of the USA!

David, respectfully, will you please STFU about how the left is so ef’ed up and the right is so perfect? If you stop and look at the big picture, goat’s comments are pretty spot on. It’s all campaigning at this point and it’s doing nothing to further international relations, not only for us and Mexico but the rest of the world too. People all over the world are laughing their azzes off at us.

I don’t side with any of the clownsticks here in the US all in but I can tell burrohatery when I see it and head von clownstick and all his border stuff is all a big campaign rally.

Oh and btw, wasn’t dubya doing just a wee bit listening in on all of us too?

No please David please carry on. I think you were on to something. These people have the heads so far up there butts its unbelievable.

'While President Donald Trump has vowed to increase border security, CBP officials say these outbound inspections are not the result of any directive from the new administration. The southbound screenings are just business as usual, said Sally Carrillo, assistant port director at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.

“We’re always doing them, it’s part of our routine enforcement,” Carrillo said. “We’re looking for weapons, we’re looking for money that’s going out of the country, we’re not going to stop that.”''

Years ago when I crossed the border by bus from San Diego headed south, the cops came on the bus and asked each of us if we had $10,000. I looked at her and I said "I WISH!"

They also asked if we had any weapons.

I believe this has been standard procedure for a while, at least on buses.

I would say the big thing they are looking for is money. Personally I love it. Seizing drugs headed north is one thing but the cartels only have a limited investment at that point. Seizing their profits after they got their product north and distributed is a whole different matter. Additionally they are searching for weapons in a cooperative effort in support of the Mexican government.

U.S. Southbound Checks

MrBillM - 4-13-2019 at 08:55 AM

I can remember "occasional" checks @ Mexicali going back (maybe) 20 years. The photo shown appears to make those checks a daily activity.
