Border Wait


Just a note for those of you who think about moving to Northern Baja and commuting across the border for work...border times are increasing, sometimes it can take over 3 hours on weekends to cross. You may apply for the SENTRI pass which will cut your crossing time substantially, but the more people who are issued these passes means the more people waiting in line to cross.

The new passport requirements will go into effect January 1, 2008. All passengers trying to cross from Mexico into the US will be required to present their passport to the immigration official. It is yet to be seen whether this will speed up or slow down the process. My guess? The number of people who didn't know they had to have a passport will hold up the line and make the wait even more unbearable.
