Major walkout at US Customs


Just heard this on the local radio and I'm on my way to confirm, aparently the CBP officers walked out from their jobs at both San Ysidro and Otay border crossings, looks like they are asking for a pay increase and did not get it. Here is the best part,the gates are open at both border crossings and litteraly hundreds are just waltzing across like nothing, entire families in cars and on foot. The border is wide open and no one watching. Tooned into a local San Diego radio station and reporter said that aparently the only ones that walked out were the San Ysidro and Otay officers, Tecate, Mexicali and others are still manned, they are thinking of sending Border patrol there but then who will be watching the fence?

Those CPB officers might as well keep on walking. There are lots of folks ready to take their easy-ass jobs.:D

All Tijuana buses and taxis are taking people to the border, there are no cabs in town. Tijuana police say that they cant do anything about it but keep order as hundreds go across freely.

The border cams show a normal backup. It looks like business as usual.

Si, debe de ser dia de los inocentes. porque es dificil de creer que el gobierno de Estados Unidos puede hacer algo como eso.

Translation: Dia de los innocentes is the same as "April Fool's Day" in US. You think the US government is going to allow free flow thru the border?
