Get ready "tourists"- Baja Army checkpoints just for you!
Mexico has been so successful seizing pot (mota) in Baja that the Mexican Army General in command says "gringos" dressed like US Tourists are
importing pot from the USA into Baja through San Ysidro.
We can forget the days of getting waved-through a checkpoint because we don't fit the profile, now we are the profile. These checkpoints are just for
us and the Mexicans will be waved around this time, not us. This will be interesting and become part of the "Welcome to Baja" experience every
tourist to Baja dreams of. Due to a lack of real tourists, I'm expecting to be stopped frequently- so it's time to stock up on playing cards and
treats for them I guess.

Mexican Army Confirms Americans Bringing Marijuana Into Mexico
The commander of the Second Military Zone, Gilberto Landeros Briseno admitted the possibility that drug traffickers are introducing marijuana from the
United States to Mexico in an apparent attempt to replace the drug that has been seized in the country.
He noted that the transport could be responsible for posing as tourists, so it is said that seals and revisions will maintain the roads Baja
California, without regard to any person.
The information is used vehicles with trailers to transport cargo, said the end of the ceremony commemorating the 164 anniversary of the heroic deeds
of heroes children outside the military headquarters Morelos.
"There was an assurance, if I remember correctly, four months ago a passenger gringo ... (by) of the Judicial Police, then we also implemented actions
to review this type of vehicles that seem all ... sometimes we have some disagreements from our neighbors, but I think it's worth and we are also
aware of these problems, "Landeros said.
Revealed that drug traffickers in both countries are responsible for trafficking in marijuana.
In this regard, Secretary of Tourism, Juan Tintos Funcke, recognized the usefulness of the review checkpoints, even among visitors to the entity,
which signaled that coordinates with the military authorities to request that they be nimble and do not affect the activity.
"It's another example of how in some way fulfill some function seals. We work with the military very closely. I can tell you right now are helping us
a lot for tourism with the whole situation of weapons, drug trafficking, seems very difficult hunting tourism, "said tourism official.
However, Red Funcke said the military has supported those who come to Mexico for hunting and fishing and they have to use controlled equipment.

Wouldn't be even be an issue if the Mexican government would set up weed shops along the hwy like in Calif. How stupid! A new tourist industry!
Oh, they have them right next to the money exchange booths. Maybe a drive thru.

They may say they're looking for weed, you know...that little baggy with ten joints in it, but I believe they're looking for the "self protection"
firearms that may be coming across.
Taking dope to Mexico is like taking sand to the beach.

While we're on the topic of unusual... four people being smuggled by boat from Ensenada to the USA last night were told "You're here! Swim to shore".
Only problem is when they swam to shore, they were still in Mexico (downtown Rosarito). They said they paid $8000USD each for that trip. Someone
made $32K and did nothing illegal according to Mexican law.

Yeah. I'm confused by the story... they say they are looking for people who look like tourists, but then they say they are looking for trailers.
Maybe they are looking for people who look like tourists hauling drugs behind them in cargo trailers???

It's a typical bunch of government lip-service. "We're gonna do this and We're gonna do that" but all they do is nothing.

nothing illegal? isn't fraud illegal in mexico?
re pot, legalize it and it would not be a problem. if legalized, nomads pensioners could raise it in their little gardens and sell it at local
farmers market to get a little extra money to stock away in lieu of purchasing health insurance, a nest egg they will need after they vote the
teabaggers into office next november which will lead to total elimination of medicare and social security and the USA returning to the dark ages.
hope!
yes we can!

It would seem not. How many times have you heard of people being screwed in real estate scams and how many times have you heard of retribution or
justice?
Not many.

Fraud? It would just be considered an expensive boat ride is all. Mexicans who get caught and sent Back to Mexico did not break a Mexican law and are
released upon their return here.

I, rebel music
I, rebel music
Why can't we roam this open country
Oh why can't we be what we want to be
We want to be free
3 o'clock - roadblock, curfew
And I've got to throw away
Yes I've got to throw away
Yes I've got to throw away
My little herb stalk
I, rebel music
I, rebel music   
That does it! I'm putting an underground grow room into the next house I build in Baja!

The music reference just brought an old tune into my head:
Coming into (Bay of) Los Angeles
Bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please
Mister customs man
I would suppose this would apply to military checkpoints as well

How much money are cartels spending to ship drugs north? Is there really weed heading south? I cannot believe there is one ounce of truth to that...

the immigrants should not have paid for services before work was completed! they should pay 20% down, then have balance held in escrow for payment
upon confirmation of delivery to shangrila!
