They were enforced, about a year ago. It created an industry on the Mexican side. A city cop would stand by the lane above the point were one could
be turned back and made sure the proper number of passengers were in the car.
Industrious Mexicans would gather before this point and ride with you past the officer then, get out of the car. You gotta love it.
At the gate, the US inspector couldn't have cared less.

You could have at least returned the favor by letting them into your trunk.

Here is a repost from one of mine last November. I hope it the pain and humility suffered might dissuade anyone from trying to reenter the U.S. on a
Sunday afternoon:
I had this problem waiting 2 1/2 hours at the San Ysidro crossing a couple of years ago. At the time I had a Mini-Winnie on a toyota truck chassis.
Well, you get the picture....it sits lower than most vehicles offering a clear view to most adjacent or passing vehicles. The only container I had was
a small bottle of water. Until now I had never particularly been concerned with the following cliche...but,uh, all I can say is that size does matter.
No, no, no....I'm talking about the bottle. Ahem, lets move on, shall we?
Here I am, driving with one hand. The line does keep moving and you can't just sit there and not drive forward. With the other hand I am trying to
unbutton. Trust me, this is not easy. Oh God....they are all looking at me. So I wrestle with my shirt. I had to take it off and then nonchalantly,
but quickly, and I mean quickly...the urgency is unbearable at this point, I throw the shirt over my lap. I tell myself, "Don't make eye contact with
anyone." (casting my eyes upward and whistling helps) By this time, I'm positive that all the onlookers must think I'm a pervert.
I'm going to end the story here because the rest was not pretty. The only thing I will say is that it is logistically impossible to pee into a small
bottle, while driving without having to open the door afterward and empty out your shoes.

It's not a bad thing. It's been used as a holistic cure for toe fungus and athletes foot for a hundred years.

Don't forget the application for Sting Ray zaps.
