I'm not worried about crossing back into the USA, but am more concerned about entering on foot.
Any observations, or advice would be appreciated for entering Mexico by foot.
Thanks.
I walked across a few days ago. The only thing they asked me was how many days will you be staying. I guess it depends on the immigration officer but there wasn't anyone else crossing at that time.

You just need a proper documentation (passport) and get a free 7 days permit or 6 months FFM for 500 something pesos.
Sometimes they check your temperature, sometimes they're not.
Don't forget your mask. Some stores & establishments in Tijuana wouldn't let you in without a mask.
Baster and Aster thanks for the information. As far as crossing / returning I have a Passport, Passport Card, and Sentri. I never take my Passport across the border but use my Passport Card to enter, and for crossing back into the USA I use my Sentri Card. Thanks again for this information!

I have crossed on foot the last few weekends. Nobody ever asked me any questions. And only took my temperture one time. I was prepared with a few excuses just in case. And dental appointment was one of them. Try this one tell them you are looking for peace quiet and safety and you are tired of all the riots and violence in the USA.

Was talking to a girl I know from Adelita's earlier today. She says she's still been working. Some girls hang out in the Adelity hotel lobby to pick up customers. I'm assuming maybe similar at other spots like HK's hotel for now. She says many Americans are still coming down, crossing the border. Says they've told her they come for all kinds of reasons. Often not essential (for example even if they say just to eat tacos LOL) - but the customs people generally still let them through without problems despite the restrictions you hear about on the news. Thinking about maybe heading down 1st week of July (holiday weekend) regardless of whether things are back open then.

I have been fascinated with the tijuana crime issue which is generally due to no jails prisons and therefore no detectives since people don't stay in jail long. But, NYC has been heading towards this model over last year, by eliminating bail, so most go free on 1 hour, and now coronavirus they let most criminals go, and now with protests, last night in Manhattan I walked for 7 hours watching people break into stores all night police racing around town, mostly they only tried to protect Macy's apple store and Microsoft, target. Even best buy I watched 40 bust through no cops came they watched from across street. But this was nothing. Saturday was 100% mayhem with 60 thousand protesters surrounding 800 cops throwing glass bottles bricks at them, the only guy arested a white guy playing biggie smalls "give me the loot". These people were getting 3 inches from cops nose screaming they will kill them, they have a small cock, there homo, there ugly, their a piece of crap, on and on, god bless those police. They have very strict mental health requirements to get hired. They have off the charts patience. Unfortunately many go home after this and shoot themselves in the head. 100% of these criminals would not last 1 week living in Tijuana with no law and order. Nobody ever moves to america and says I wish we had no law and order like mexico.

When I come back to the USA After this weekend, if I get the question what was your reason for being in Mexico. I plan on saying to flee all the violence in the USA.

Why can't they open a place like campo allegre in curacao? This is perfect to keep social distance.
Even Campo is now closed. The whole island of Curacao is also quarantined. I am always there a week in January. I miss this place because I always have a great vacation there (sun, sex, sea, sand! Etc).

Tijuana will probably be open before then but there will still be a high risk just being there in an urban environment with minimal social distancing, crowded streets, street people without PPE.
It's a mess. It makes me so sad.
Flu is not a big problem. E. g. I take flu shot every year at the turn of September and October and I think I haven't had flu for the last 20 years. At Walgreens there is a free flu shot with your medical insurance or around $ 30 without insurance. Meanwhile, all countries and scientists are working crazy on the Covid 19 vaccine. It is expected to be ready by the end of the year. If the vaccine for Covid 19 will be ready I will immediately take it and run to.... Hong Kong club!

I use SENTRI and drive my car. They have never asked such a thing.

Questions on going across the border

So, if you already know somebody, it's a good time to visit. Traffic is light and the motels are open. I've gone once a week for the last four weeks. My only gripe is that none of my favorite restaurants are open for sit-down service.

At times I went to much to really appreciate it, but financially It wasnt alot of money. Anytime I went to Mexico I was saving 8 dollars on food and beer before hk, in hk and other bars I was saving 20 on beer compared to San Diego. And I I'm only count half the beer since I would drink half as much at a american bar. Then I saved on hotels, altogether after what I saved I probably spent 50 dollars a visit. It's also much easier to get a happy tinder experience especially if the girl has no visa, my lack of wealth won't be apparent to her.
Doesn't sound cheap to me. Seems like good times. I wish I was in San Diego five months per year. In fact, if that was the case, I'd save a crapload of money on rent and just get a place in Tijuana instead of Man Diego. Not even factoring in food and other living expenses, the savings on monthly rent would cover the expense of 20 escorts a month give or take depending on your taste. I also wouldn't need the hassle and all the expenses associated with a vehicle. It's amazing how cheap Uber is in Mexico whether that's Tijuana, CDMX, Mexicali, Vallarta or some other city.
