Hey guys,

I'm going to be in Zona Norte April 1st through the 4th to party for a couple days if anybody needs a wingman. I'm coming down from Colorado on a solo trip as of right now.

Warren.

I play a bit of basic guitar and I was playing Neil Diamond "Cracklin' Rosie".

Zona Norte reminds me of so many things in life. There is a line in the song "Cracklin' Rosie, make me smile, Girl if it lasts for an hour, that's all right, we got all night to set the world right". Well. We need to change those lyrics a bit to be Zona Norte compatible. Girl if it lasts 30 minutes, that's all right, we don't have all night to set the world right. Haha.

Never seen anyone else's bags hand checked either. Wondering if this is something new? This was through the pedestrian entry.

Nope nothing new. Although I have never seen them search an Americans luggage by hand. I often see them searching Mexicanos with large suitcases.

Wondering if this is something new? This was through the pedestrian entry.

Early in March, for the first time in a couple of years, they made me open up my backpack and quickly went through it. From what they said, my laptop triggered it and they wanted to make sure that I only had one laptop. I did only have my personal laptop, and after they realized I had nothing else, they let me go through. It was 60 second speed bump.

Forgot to mention on my trip to Tijuana earlier this month (March) I got through customs with my printed FMM with no hassles from the guy checking my FMM but when walking through to the exit one of the Mexican guards who stands around the bag x-ray machine pulled me over and hand checked my luggage bag and backpack. The lady directly in front of me had her bags checked as well. First time in all my years having my bags checked by hand going into Mexico. They usually just let me have them go through the screening machine. Never seen anyone else's bags hand checked either. Wondering if this is something new? This was through the pedestrian entry.

Polk county is near Tampa and Orlando, Florida. Interestingly, the local sheriff Grady Judd regularly makes prostitution stings in the same way and in the same area every few months. And he always arrests over 100 guys!

That's the American way!

POLK COUNTY, Fla. .

The Polk County sheriff said more than 100 people were arrested in a prostitution, human trafficking and child predator sting.

Polk County detectives, along with a few other agencies, said they identified sex workers who posted advertisements online. They also identified the people searching the web for those sex workers.

Sheriff Grady Judd said the 108 people arrested, include a retired judge from Illinois, a few restaurant managers and several who work at Disney.

One of the suspects is 27-year-old Xavier Jackson from Kissimmee.

Judd said he's accused of sending sexual pictures to what he thought was a 14-year-old girl.

"Did I mention that he just happens to be a lifeguard at the Polynesian Resort for Disney? You think there's a few children around there? That's right, I didn't stutter. He was a lifeguard at the Polynesian Resort. And was bragging about that," Judd said.

We reached out to Disney officials who confirmed three of the four suspects mentioned by the sheriff work for the company.

Along with Jackson, the sheriff says 24-year-old Wilakson Fidele works at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Caf in Tomorrowland and 45-year-old Ralph Leese is employed by the company in their I. T. Department.

A Disney representative tells WESH 2 News, all three of them have been placed on unpaid leave.

Most of the 108 arrests were for soliciting a prostitute.

The sheriff said they also arrested one woman for trafficking another woman. The oldest person arrested was 67 and the youngest was 17.

Judd said the suspects could face more charges once they finish their investigation.

"We have the traveling charges, we have the using the computer charges, the harmful material charges. The attempted lewd battery charge if they travel," he said.

A wingman always takes his bar girls here for weekend dates. He had no problems.

Why don't you call them up and ask their guests policy?

[MamaGuevos]

Hey,

Been on and off the site for awhile finally made an account. Was wondering if anyone knows if it is girl friendly hotel or have ever stayed there before and would recommend? I have a bunch of Marriott points and debating whether to stay there or the Marriott this time around thanks.

I am there right now. Definitely GF. But you have to meet your chica in the lobby because the elevator requires a room key.

Technically the line is in Mexico's soil, CBP has no jurisdiction and cannot do much. It's the job of asshole Tijuana Policias to keep order when the yare not too busy abusing and stealing from every one.

But CBP has no right to let bus riders cut in in front of the line. They should make passengers start at the end of the line.

Someone should write a complaint to the o J Inspector General that CBP is breaking protocol and treating US Citizens unfairly.

Crossing in Windsor into Canada and recrossing again in Buffalo to enter NY, I have done numerous times. Yesterday first time in south at Tijuana. I accidentally went into Mexico as I missed exit on highway. I returned back and let in with Global Entry but car wasn't registered. Border wait for auto was long but moving. Re entered by foot Border Patrol very helpful.

The auto traffic is many times Canadian crossing and very very few cross on foot so different experience. Compared to Entering USA in JFK years ago cannot complain. Yes people crossing here are totally different. Saw Ukrainian refugees. Very Politely accompanied by guide and processing done.

Amor,

I am pissed off that Mexicans are selling $20 seats on buses to cut in line ahead of other people.

If you know the details may be you should write to the CBP head in San Ysidro and complain.

Before I had sentry, so probably 17 months ago, I snapped at the border woman when I finally got to the front. I asked her how they allow that dam scam where we pay to cut the line on the bus. How can the USA participate in such a scam? I actually took it once 5 months prior. Never again. At the time it was 7 dollars. The border guard told me "if you don't like the line take the bus like the rest of them its for people who don't want to be in line". Unbelievable. In my opinion, like everything Tijuana / san Diego, its all a trade off. USA had to accept whatever big business runs that show on maxixe side. In return maxixe allows whatever was traded for that, such as, letting USA border patrol stand on Mexican property to stop the Russian cars before they cross for instance so they can't get 10 minute asylum while Haitians been waiting 6 months.
