Tecate Border crossing


We used the Tecate crossing entering Mexico recently. When I researched their hours of operation I always found it opens at 5:00 am. We were at the crossing at 5:45am and the Mexico side was open, however the US side had the gates closed. At 6:00am or so a US border guy walked out and opened the gates.

Does anyone know why the US would restrict crossing out of the US?

I dont think their primary intent is to stop southward traffic. I suppose if the gate were opened before usa cbp operating hours, then a surge of people might flow northward through the unguarded open gate, eh?

I don't remember ever seeing a gate on the US side going into Mexico at Tecate. Maybe I just never noticed it before.
