I love going Los Algodonas because it's like park and walk across boarder. Your in Town, food, bars , shopping, all there. Other places like Reo Calarado, Mexacali, got walk a mile. Everything spread out. Then There's Dental. I head for Food! Shrimp Tacos! Chicken Fajetas, Wevos Rancheros . Margaritas, gambling. Music. Nice, Nice people.
I love the place. I been there once this year and twice last year. Dental work Next time is June. I think I'll get glasses then. I always drive in, tho'. I like to stay over there. Not my first time in Mexico. More like 50th. If you drive, get Mexico insurance. Your US insurance doesn't cover you over there.
I wish USA quit Lying to Americans and telling us our Freedom. When we go to Mexico just cross fence. Coming back takes An Hour. Oh They Say "We got Pay Tax" What for to give to Fat polatition so the don't have to work. It Ain't Freadum . It's going to end. .
You are correct you can no longer use a birth certificate to show proof of US citizen ship. You must have a passport or pass card among others such as tribal card, military I’d Etc. @@ricardoberti892
@@indy7788 Well, I'd have to say it's kind of yes and no on a birth certificate. A US Citizen by Birth may not be refused entry to the USA. The ACLU has a page on that. My brother tested this recently when he had to find dental care quickly and did so at a border city, walking across after parking on the USA side. Returning that same day he showed his original birth certificate and driver license for that US State (not an "Enhanced" type). The officer argued and said he was going to refuse entry. Understand my brother has a swollen face and an ice pack, some bleeding at the gums. It's all rather obvious what is going on. He told the officer he knew the law, that he could not be refused and proceeded to walk past. Nothing happened. Keep in mind too that we wasn't carrying anything but his wallet, car keys and cell phone. No, I would never suggest anyone try that themselves. I get why he did not, there was no time to obtain a passport and no money for a USA dentist. But outside of these urgent circumstances, why take the risk of an argument at the border? The other possibility to keep in mind is that passports can be lost or stolen. It does happen and US Citizens can still re-enter the USA. But it is very much up to the discretion of the officers at the border just how difficult and time consuming re-entry will be. Helps to have photos of all documents as a backup. I travel with a set of backup documents kept apart from my Passport Card. Never had to depend on them, it's just a "Just In Case" sort of thing.
