Ignore the Goat, kboy24, if his weird replies bug you.

Sometime tell us your old days in Baja stories! Most here are bored with mine about the glory days when the pavement ended just north of Colonet or at San Felipe, southbound!

The Sentri pass is the gold ring and a real privilege as far as I am concerned. I once lost my temper with an agent in Tecate that found an apple in my trunk along with eggs I bought in the U.S. She got really nasty with me and after 4 years after that incident I got stopped crossing over in San Ysidro with a rental car that was not a Sentri vehicle but I could not move over into the Ready lane and got directed to the Sentri lane by a Mexican policeman. It seemed they had a record of my exchange with the agent in Tecate. They told me they could pull my Sentri card because I had had a "previous". I decided it wasn't worth arguing. It might sound crazy but I would be really upset to lose the Sentri pass.

I'm confused! Why all the problems.
In all the border crossings I've done (from all over the world) I've never had a problem. Crossing the Mexican border I roll down my window and take off my sunglasses and smile, at night I lower my lights to parking only so they can see my face. I have nothing to be worried about and I answer their questions with a smile. When I go to Secondary I do the same thing. They ask questions that they know the answers to like the weather were I live or where I live what's around there. It's just a game they play and I play back at them.
Last time through LAX from Australia I had all our papers ready, went through the passport gate and then the Customs guy. As I walked up I waved my papers, smiled and said, "OK which of these do you want, what ever you need, I got it". He just waved me by.

New car with Sentri


Just helped a friend apply for Sentri Renewal. We also added a new car during the process. The car now appears on his list of vehicles with his other Sentri info. His current Sentri card does not expire for almost 6 months and we are not expecting approval anytime soon, but I am unsure about the car we added? Will he receive some kind of separate approval for the car, or can he now use it because it appears under his list of vehicles on the new Sentri Site?

Coming home this AM from our casa at Corona Beach we were pulled into secondary and they took my card and said to wait at least 7 days and call either Sentri office and see what they say about giving it back or not. I was outraged after 12 years of this sentri use and now this nonsense. They couldn't tell me anything. I have no idea what I did. I did buy a car 6 weeks ago and I registered it with them and it is still pending review. I am 65 years old and disabled with no criminal history. I got a 502 in January of 1981 and I got a Marijuana license a month ago per my Dr. to try on my Psoriasis but I haven't used it yet. ANy ideas? This peees me off. Wait 7 days, what a bunch of BS. Without my sentri I'll sell mi casa. I'm not about to wait in those lines. I've been going down for 55+ years. Any Ideas guys??


With all due respect Sir;
By crossing the border in a "still pending review vehicle" you seriously jeopardized your PRIVELEGE associated with a SENTRI card.
Its a private federal government club only for those that survive the vetting and follow the rules to a tee, its their railroad, best get over it.
BTW, for a recently approved and added vehicle, they put you and the new vehicle through a giant x-ray machine, glad I've had all the kids I intend too.

Why does everyone harp about the car?

In one of the OPs last posts he says "Expired Sentri Card gentlemen was the issue".

Me thinks no one ever reads through these things.

Why are you so concerned about people’s harping?

Another one who opens his mouth without reading (much less thinking). BajaTed brought it up again about the car. 12/10/2017 12:41
