Tecate Border crossing
Had to make a quick trip to the states yesterday crossed at Tecate about 10 am. about 30min. wait . We did our business and decided to come back to
Baja through San Ysidro, wrong decision the border patrol on the U.S. side was in their Harassing mode and had traffic backed up past the duty free
exit.

There is just no end to their "control freak" BS. If it was really a viable road block, they would never take it down.

They remind me of the time I spent in the army between Korea and Vietnam we didn't have a mission so it seemed the make do work would never end.

I think it's some kind of basic training school.

As previously stated the cross time at Tecate being reasonable the guy in the booth was bored and wanted to chat.

I actually think that the occasional road block on the US side is somehow political to appease the Mexican government. But, I hate it.

Now that describes it pretty well doesn't it. They slow up traffic going north and make you wait for 3 or 4 hours and then you can see some little
guy in an office overlooking the whole situation and he gets an evil grin on his face and says, "Those people going south look entirely too happy, so
let's set up some kind of stupid roadblock and slow them down too." He was probably laughing with an evil resonance in the background and smiling a
really evil smile and shouting at the cars, " Now you can really see how powerful this government can be, we can stop you at will and make your time
and life miserable".

If you were to say that I bet you would forever have a vivid picture on your mind of what the Bottom of a size 13 storm trooper boot looks like .
