What was going on at Border and in Ensenada
We crossed back to Baja at San Ysidro yesterday at 1pm,
on Baja side they funneled you down to 2 lanes and were looking in every car. Got to Ensenada and they were checking cars coming into and leaving
Ensenada. All heavily armed and really looking at you closely. Any idea if something happened yesterday to cause this?

The Agencia Fronteriza de Noticieros reported an "operativo cerco" which I take to mean a kind of dragnet. There was also a report of the rescue of a
kidnap victim and arrest of three or more of his captors.

Again... Another trumped up kidnapping story? The media is trying to kill tourism with these reports of highway blockades and alleged kidnap
victims. Maybe the poor guy went out for a six-pack to get away from his gordita for a few hours. I hope they found the beer while it was still
cold. LOL

There are seven detainees
Military and police forces besieging entire city
During three hours over 400 elements were deployed throughout the urban stain seeking drugs, weapons and criminals
Most detainees are young.

That's because this is all for show.... They are either afraid of going after the big guys or they are paid off by them.
It is always easier to knock off a few addicts then to go after the suppliers.
Once again law enforcement is just for show so they can get some good press.

During last months "cleaning"of the Rosarito Police they found police radios in the narcos houses. They're not interested in catching the big fish in
this drug war, they only make it look like they are fishing until the pressure subsides and they can be more openly corrupt as before. The narcos are
offering handfuls of cash to the local miltary as we speak for their cooperation. Some won't be strong enough and it only takes one bad cop for a
radio to fall into the wrong hands and make the whole game pointless. The previous Tijuana polics chief was on the take for $500K per month! The
military will run out of will before the narco cartel runs out of cash to be sure.

People ask why we live here (Rosarito) if things are that bad. I love it here. My family has loved it here for decades. But nothing stays the same
and the peak years of our lives are short. It's a big world (as many nomads understand) and there's a perfect spot for everyoine- they just need to
get off their duffs and find it while they're still healthy enough to enjoy it.
I moved here full time when someone with more money than brains made an offer I couldn't fiscally refuse on my San Diego house. I do love my
neighbors and like being close to the border for medical emergencies. I'm not a speculator so the house will stay in the family for our family to
enjoy for generations we hope. It's hard to do a family business in this area as it's just too hard to safely handle cash (pesos or dollars) and get
business done here. With all the focus on building condos though, few of are planning businesses to provide the goods and services Americans will
want once they get here. Finding a safe business is the challenging part right now. JMHO though
