Anything over an hour to cross is just the government trying to make a statement that we have to raise taxes to maintain our affluent life style.
Why do Liberals insist and demand that achievers pay the way for nonachievers who are to lazy to succeed, or are just failures by their own choice?
Criminals prefer unarmed victims, dictators prefer unarmed subjects.
Why do ignorant people continue their blabbering when it only proves to others how stupid they are.

Kinda funny about all these reported increases in wait times, the sequestrations and furloughs don't even take effect until mid April. SOP.

It's kinda ironic that the Sequestration is going to have an equally devastating consequence at the border crossings as does Christmas.

border crossing should get better. Unemployment now down to 7.7% with employment up in all sectors led by construction. More people will have less
time to go to baja (at least for those who want to work). |
Those numbers are made up |
No really, I got them from FOX news....They have to be true!
|
Oh my bad FOX is known for sourcing and verifying their news and would
never, ever knowingly or intentionally air misleading information.

All taht number means is that fewr people in the construction industries were first time filers for unemployment. Same thing happened with buggy
makers along time ago.

don't think so. 266,000 jobs added in Feb. 43,000 in the construction industry. I think that means more people working, I think. Less people
traveling to Baja, If you want to work.

I went thru yesterday. 2 1/2 hour wait to get to Jack in the Box. then to secondary because Jack couldn't open the rear hatch on my Explorer. I took a
long time waiting for someone to start the secondary inspection but I talked to several others that were friendly and busy. Two dog handlers came by
and said hi to Mason and one even offered Mason a biscuit. When I got the inspector I told him this was the first time in 20 years I'd been sent to
secondary and it was my birthday. He was able to open the hatch, did a quick inspection and moved cars so I could get out of jail. So for only going
to secondary once in 20 years it wasn't too bad of an experience. Oh, you can't smoke in your car while waiting. It's considered a government
building.
He also said that all employees will start a 4 day workweek April 1.

Secondary at Calexico sucked yesterday. Same thing, 5 older guys standing around joking and telling stories, while a young kid interrogated us (in a
nice fashion). Seems with 20 years of me crossing they'd build up enough intel to know if I was a drug transporter or not.

"older guys"???? That sounds like age-bashing to me!!! as well as criticising them for not being serious------attitude-bashing, for sure!
Don't be too hard on them, Ateo---- I still can't figure out if you are a "drug trausporter" or not.

Just telling it like it is................the old dudes have grown up, seen how lame this whole debacle is, and all they can do is laugh to get thru
the day. I don't blame them. I'd do the same.

What is the best way to hit the ready lanes:
When coming north on the 'free' road out of Rosarito?
When using Blvd. 2000?

Matt.....Geoff at Bajabound has made some videos of these approaches. I've found them through Google before.

Blvd. 2000: Follow the road and signs to "Otay Mesa". Keep following the signs....it's a long way!!! When it finally says to turn right to the the
Otay Mesa border crossing -- don't. Keep going straight. Turn right at the NEXT street and it'll take you thru the park and school. At the first
major street hang a right and you will be in the Ready Lane.

No 12 hour shifts they'll loose a days pay every week. And that really sucks.
