They did not appear to be there yesterday on the way north.

TT


Where, the Hwy. 3 junction 31 miles north of San Felipe? Who asked, a soldier or an INM official? Thank you.

D.K. Are you implying that it would make a difference.
You are the self proclaimed expert of Baja Mexico don't you know it's the duty of every citizen to report someone who is in the Country Illegally.

I travel this peninsula all the time and there is a difference between a military asking for the INM paper work and an immigration official. If it is an immigration official they are checking your status as a visitor to their country. If it is a military person they are using the information to fill out their paper work of data collection. They have asked me for mine and I just give them my drivers license and they copy: name, state of residency, and ask the year the car was manufactured. It is my belief that the military is there to do a different job. Immigration officers are in charge of immigration, not the military. As immigration do not search your car for drugs and guns, although it is everyone"s responsibility to report illegal actions. Separate entities doing separate jobs.

The point I am trying to make , Why not do the right thing and just get the proper documents. It might keep your but out of jail. If you cant afford them you probably should stay home .

Thank you Tomás! Just was curious if anything had changed in what the military has been assigned to do, and it seems not one bit!
J.P., it was a simple question and Tomás answered it, thank you.
