Nothing to clean up. And, nothing wrong with paying to get through faster.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Not doing anything has led down a not so good path.

“Nothing wrong with paying” bribes, sayeth thee.
But Cheaper to get sentri or GE.
If you are a criminal and cant pass security check, then bribing cops to cut line is consistent with your criminal nature.
Woke!
Hands off!

We were going back to the US and took a wrong turn right before the border and ended up going down a one way street. My MX friend was driving my
truck. Told him to just give the cop $50.
The cop was very happy and gave us an escort to the border behind his motorcycle.

Maybe Mexico should institute a new police protocol where the real azzhole extortionist cops get transferred to some heavy cartel area, where they
have to constantly watch their back, and the good cops get cushy postings in quiet expat and touristy towns where the worst they have to deal with is
a few thieves and traffic accidents.

Heavy moral judgment there billy. But, yup, that's me, a criminal, and won't bother trying for GE and other. Minor infractions still that's the
way the law works.
I've never had a problem (ever) buying my way out of trouble, or into favors.
I recognize that there are many with strong moral fiber running through their body. Mine got damaged in Vietnam. My small circle of Vets is in
the same boat. U.S.A. U.S.A.
