The grandmotherly type at the Mexicali East INM, sounds like she may be senile, and doesn't know her own immigration laws. Then she goes beyond the
pale, and takes Alan's daughter hostage, while he goes to the banks for reasons, I'm still confused about?
I just hope the daughter was a young adult, before Alan, let them take her hostage.
I would not write off this incident off as Mexicans interpreting the rules differently, because clearly if what Alan is saying is accurate the
grandmotherly type, was off her rocker, and what Alan, should have did was act assertive with the old bag, and if that didn't work, ask for a
supervisor, and demand the FMM for 180 days, and not according to what the old bag wants to give you.
And then regardless of what they say use the FMM for multiple trips.
I always enter Mexico, by car or foot using San Ysidro, and so I'm not familiar with Mexicali East, but clearly they are doing something wrong.
I rarely advise anyone to act like a ugly American, in Mexico, because it's very embarrassing, especially when the ugly American, is in the wrong, but
in this case, it may have paid off being a very loud ugly American. |
