The video shows the new Garita El Chaparral entry into Tijuana. Looks like a less complicated route may be available to get to the Scenic Road(Highway 1).
Since the San Ysidro border expansion plans were publicized two years ago, I have yet to find any information or discussion on the new southbound inspection areas on the U.S. side of the border(see red highlights on completed 2015 plan below).
I’m guessing that the Garita El Chaparral story of improving southbound crossing efficiency into Mexico is an attempt to obfuscate the expansion of Homeland Security’s powers.
Homeland Security now takes its lead from the efficiencies of the Department of Motor Vehicles. Today, you get to wait in a long line and are treated poorly by clerks(with guns) to get back in to your country. In 2016, you will have to wait in line to pass inspection making certain you are fit to get OUT of the USA.
- “What were you doing in the USA?”
- “How long were you in the USA?”
- “Where are you going in Mexico?”
- “What are you bringing across the border?”
- “Show me your receipts from WalMart, Costco, Home Depot and Trader Joe’s!”
