Vee vant to see your papers


Immigration folks are checking for tourist and resident papers as you enter the airport buildings in San Jose del.

My friend was dropping off her boyfriend today for his flight home and decided to accompany him into the building. She, a US citizen, has been a legal resident for 18 years and is awaiting her Mexican passport. She had in her possession her US passport but not the file documenting her status as a new Mexican citizen. The migra guys were checking everyone that came through the door.

They detained her for well over an hour while she called a friend to go to her house and get her paperwork and bring it to the airport.

So I guess the moral of the story is either always carry your FMT, FM3, FM2 or whatever or a copy of same, or just don't go through the doors at the airport.

I'm going to make sure I have current copies in the car today.
When in Rome.........

When I took Jim and our employee to the airport in November, they were checking as you came in the airport. Somehow I skipped around them but they asked Jim and our employee who is Mexican.

Jefe, you going to be around feb 24 for the nomad get together here at my place?

Last month, David K posted about new passport requirements for entering US. Just a reminder - it's effective Jan 31st. This sounds awful:

Don't make it sound so scary! Passports are still NOT required for Americans RETURNING to the U.S. via land or sea.... only by plane. They must (however) have their birth cert. and a photo ID,... except kids, just the birth cert. for them. Please read the official CBP letter I posted in the Baja News Forum.

Pretty much the way it has been operated since 9-11, but now no excusses... If you don't have the proof and ID, then you will be detained! Heck, after all these warnings the past few years, doesn't everyone already have their passports???

No Sharks, not Dracula.
I vaz alooding more to zee gestapo. But hey, they are just guys doing their jobs. I shouldn't besmirk their characters. Growing up in the US we are simply not used to being stopped by the authorities in public places and having to prove our legal status. I don't like it but I'll figure out a way to have papers closer at hand when I am out and about.
