I had a relatively pleasant and similar experience in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. At the time- and currently right now in August, 2024- the U.S. government had Tamaulipas on the "Do not travel to" list due to "crime and kidnapping". However, I went during the daytime and stayed in view of people and felt safe. I even took out my laptop out at a square to look at some things, and was approached by a curious vendor. No tengo confianza en el gobierno de los EE UU. I stopped for lunch in Church's Chicken in Nuevo Laredo since I figured it would be a break from Spanish. Nope. It may as well have been called Pollo de Iglesia because the employees could not speak English. I did have my passport, though, and have seen a family member go through a similar process of having a border agent get pissed when they only had their driver's license... but that was coming from Canada. The walk back across was only around a 10 minutes wait at the International Bridge Number 1 - Las Americas (Nuevo Laredo-Laredo) bridge on Convent Ave. People often take advantage of services or businesses on another side of the border within the timeframe of a day.
Love this video! Thank you for sharing it. I lived in Mexico for 18 months with a one yr old child. It was the best experience of my life; Nothing like how the news portrays it.
@@TrentPierceProjects I live in the USA and for me, I cant even get it there. It would have easier for me to get a green card. Those guards there look like terrioriat. Why are they so paranoid? Roo bad if you don't have drivers license like me. It would have been hard for me to sneak myself into shopping: I would have been exhausted and sitting on one of those benches. What if you had trouble breathing while so closely unsupervised? Do you have to go through that to get back intothe USA or just show your drivers license? What about when yu are traveling by sea? Is there a border and are you allowed in and out of the waterwaze so freely? By Air? Wow, males me wonder. Do the treat people coming into the USA like that when they enter by boat? Theyn should use the Brittish to help the terriorist figure out why the Indians have to guard took over? Is that why the Indians don't have there land because the terriorist wants to keep them safe from all the corruption the USA has opposed on them? I thought we started out with only one Ruler in the World? just who Is ruling the nation? Do terriorist harrass other countries and why are they so mad? Are the pyramids near there or is that the Incas. What happened to the Mayan King nd to Cleopatrs?
@@TrentPierceProjects It would by nice to just stay there overnight just to play the atm!! Sounds profitable. Can you do that and stay home all in the same time zone? hum?
