Flip it around.
I deal with Mexican immigration more so than CBP. That is because they are posted more south as I travel. This would include military check points
and Guerrero Negro. I am always pulled into secondary heading south, especially at the border. I used to hate it and get peeed - a why me attitude.
I would speak no spanish, forcing these power tripping buttcracks to speak english. Then I realized they were targeting large vehicles that could
carry large amounts of guns and money. Then they started hiring some nice female eye candy - that spoke english. Then getting pulled into secondary
was not so bad and only an problem if I was in a hurry.
some are very nice, flirty, cool to talk to, Some are f'n buttcrack chilango mofo's that i would love to pimp slap and date their mother.
it rolls both ways. |
I completely agree. And for the record, I'd say my "friend" is more of an ex-friend.

I've never had a bad experience at the border North or South, maybe it's just my smiling happy face that makes the difference. I always thank the guys

God what a great attitude.
Kill them with kindness. I'm always in a good mood crossing though tired. Gratitude that I don't have to work at the border.

Came up thru Tecate a couple of weeks ago, got sent to Secondary. The lady was absolutely courteous and professional. We had to take some stuff out of
the pop-up camper on the Tacoma for access. She inspected the camper, checked our luggage, asked some questions. All done in under 15 minutes. It's
great when they're professional about the whole thing.

I would volunteer to go to secondary if they were always like that.

There's a tall-ish lady there who I believe has been there for years who is totally normal, rational and professional. also , a middle age guy who is
great. There's a young guy who's a bit weird.
