    Keep up the good work brother. Your videos provided good insight into what's happening outside our borders, good and bad.
    Can't always trust what's going on according to today's news reports, and for those who can't or won't travel beyond our borders, it helps to see first hand, like in your videos!

    When going to TJ i would enter Mexico in the daytime dressed down , with no watch or jewelry , always kept small bills , played by the rules , and left before it got dark.

    Thanks for this video. I walked from the border exit turnstiles to the ABC La Linea bus station ( 5 or 6 minutes) just to the left of the "Medac" building ( at 4:20) on a Monday morning at around 7am in early November. As regards it not being advisable to walk at night (2:20) I agree but, for what's it's worth, I returned that evening at just before 7pm at the ABC La Linea bus station, I tried to order an Uber to be extra safe, but Uber kept on cancelling. Eventually I asked at the desk of the small ABC bus station and they told me that Uber did not come there but I could just walk. So, reluctantly, I walked the five or six minutes to the line to get into the US ( no wait at all!) and I noticed that there were a lot of cars about and also people entering Mexico from the US. Maybe I was just being over-cautious but all went OK.

      Thank you very much for your comments! I believe it's very safe walk from Border entry to Tijuana if you use good judgment. I have never done later evening walk, but would use good caution though. Yes, agree with Uber sometime they are not that reliable. Then border cross is always hit and miss with amount of folks. I applied for Sentri few months back but that take much time to approve the process. Cheers 👍👍

    Made this walk a few times starting back in the 70s and my time in the Navy in the 80s. Last time I was there was probably in the mid 90s. My cousins who live in Chula Vista now advise against crossing at all.

    • @travelingfrogman
      @travelingfrogman  11 месяцев назад

      Thank you for comment! Yes, its been a while since I walked across the border myself. The walk itself during the daylight hours from Border entry to downtown Tijuana is pretty safe in general, highly advise not doing it at night though.

In 10yrs w/o critical id, I have been sent to secondary inspection only 3 times northbound, southbound twice. 1 time denied entry to MX, so I hichhiked on the onramp to southbound I-5.

      They can't close the border there's a strong economy between both sides. Also few San diegans live in tijuana due the housing market in San Diego and overall in California. Now not all the people you see on that line came from Latin America they have both nationalities. Don't generalized!
