Hard to say but, the media in US border areas would be remiss to not bring this to the attention of the public, and I don't mean page three. I'm sure that would save a lot of misery.

My wife says it's mostly about their medical insurance benefits. She says they have actually lost some benefits and want it to be the way it was.

Don't we all (both sides of the border) want health care cost to be the way it was? It just ain't that way no more.

Sorry, I'm back and yes, it will be at all border crossings in the country so don't think that by going to Tecate you'll be ok neither going thru Juarez, it's stay put for 6 hours and they will not be stoped according to them and the Federales say that they have no orders to stop the and I say Federales because the areas by the borders and bridges are federal, city and state are not involved. They are also saying that in order to prevent from beeing stoped, they will not do a march or assemble to get to the borders, they will all come from different places and just show up.
And just so you know IMHMO they are very wrong, all that they do is have the kids miss school and why? Political, nothing more, yes, the retirement age was raised one year, big wow instead of 48 now it's 49. I don't see you from the USA blocking the borders and you have it at 65. And another thing that is stupid, it does not affect those that are already working at all, only those that start new. P..inch..e Lopez Obrador:!:

Allow me a momentary hijacking. In September, a book about Lopez Obrador will be released. "Mexican Messiah" by George Grayson. Be forewarned that it appears to be supportive of the man called AMLO. All points of view are worth reading.

Now, back to our regular programing.

Thanks for the heads up, Ferna. I'll have to head down tomorrow night as well and miss work Friday. Silver lining -- more time in Baja.

What is the source of this info. The link in your first post seems to limit it to the TJ area.

It's supposed to be at every border crossing. And as for the source, kids have no school all over the country.

fdt, thank you so much for posting this information. It will save a lot of people on this forum a whole lot of frustration. Now we can make a plan and work around all of this mess. I am passing it on to all of my local Mexican/American friends who live here in San Diego and own property in Baja and could be impacted by this.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Oh, and thank you!
