Why the fast times crossing? Something change recently?

Last crossing was San Luis Christmas eve day of 2012 and waited over 3 hours, was sent to secondary and then was told to go back into mexico and wash the jeep and try again!

Second time in line that day was over 4 hours.

Don't bet on it. Keeping your mouth shut and head in the sand won't get anywhere for sure.

I waited about 70 minutes at San Ysidro this past Sunday, starting at noon.
We ended up in secondary because my gf bought some potatoes and a pomegranate , but that only took an extra 30 minutes!
