Nuevo Laredo

Buses cross bridge 2, this all happened on bridge 1. The pedestrian bridge.

CBP released a statement. https://elmanana.com.mx/brindan-decl...rre-de-puente/. It is in Spanish since I found it on the Nuevo Laredo newspaper site.

Wow, that's the same bridge where buses cross.

Wow, that's the same bridge where buses cross. The last time I crossed that bridge on a bus (almost 2 weeks ago), we were checked 3 times for our credentials and they specifically said that they want to identify any central american who may be on that bus so they do not cross over into the USA. I wish that AMLO (our new Mexican president) would do something similar like trump is doing in USA and strengthen the southern border. I saw a video from Honduras that they are now saying that many more caravans are going to be coming up and now they are going to be much bigger since they have learned that they would need bigger caravans in order to keep the Mexicans from controlling them like what was done in Piedras Negras where they were put into a warehouse and not let out unless they needed to go to the store and even then they were ushered by police force. Now I see videos where Hondurans are killing and robbing Mexicans and Mexican companies. I wish the Mexican president would do something about these Hondurans. Honestly, the Mexicans in the United States remind me of the Hondurans in Mexico. Since I am a dual citizen of Mexico and the USA, I visit the Mexican consulate to take care of paperwork. Today I went to get my voter credentials (a card that I can use as a passport in Mexico). Well even some guys that work at the Mexican consulate are extreme assholes to any man that is or even looks like a United States citizen. I believe that my own culture needs to be punished for all the harm that they have caused to hard working, tax paying citizens of the United States that were born in Mexico like me. Then again, I am very jaded. The thinking behind the new administration is that we do not want losers in the USA. In my opinion, going back to a democratic president is not going to get rid of all the crime and losers coming from the Mexican border. I would rather live in a racist country that the USA has become than to deal with all the losers that come up through that border. The way I see it, one side (USA gringos) are racist and the other side (immigrants) are assholes because they are uneducated and don't like to pay taxes to become citizens. This, I tell my girlfriends from Monterrey. They pretty much know that most of the people who migrate from Mexico into the USA are losers. I will say that Mexico is a great country with many hard working educated people who have their shit together and treat me very well. It's like night and day how well I am treated in Mexico by my own race but here in the US my own race treats me like shit.

I read 'them, Zygo.

Thanks guys for reading them and Bbond for looking out for us in Nuevo laredo. The truth is that for the amount of money that I would spend in Nuevo laredo I could bang a couple of escorts here in San Antonio. I look forward to going to Monterrey around end of April and will start saving now as I plan on enjoying a whole week there and I don't want to be a cheap skate anymore. I realize that giving the girls money for extras can go a long way for a memorable experience. I love the spas and have many to try out and many to keep going to. Monterrey has huge potential but is probably getting more dangerous than before with all the central Americans arriving into Mexico. Mexico used to be more of a tourist destination and still is as I see gringos and other foreigners there. Many foreigners work in Monterrey and I wish I did too. But the US tells us to be careful, to avoid those areas, etc. I can say that it is not what it once was. There used to be much better quality in looks and in service. The game has changed allot.

I'm making plans to go to Nuevo Laredo this weekend, will park car in the bus stations garage and walk across. A friend from social media said she would take me to a hotel and hang out and another young girl I'm making plans with. I don't really see Nuevo Laredo as a party (farra) place anymore but this will be my first time to actually go to Nuevo Laredo in over 10 years. I was in Monterrey last weekend and wrote several reviews but nobody read them or didn't appreciate them so I don't plan on writing any more reviews when I go to Monterrey. If there was a way I could delete my reviews in the Monterrey section I would.

met with show of force

ROTFLMAO. I can remember one time a few years ago when I was walking back from Mexico to the US, and Bridge 1 had its old configuration with several pedestrian lines at the checkpoint outside right next to the automobile lines. Well that time, the dogs ferreted out some guy who must have been transporting drugs, and he jumped out of his car and took off.

What did the USA's finest CBP agents do then, and there were at least 10-15 of them hanging around (speaking some sort of Spanish among themselves of course)? Well, they all just stood there looking at each other. Are you going to chase him? Are you going to chase him? Nobody wanted to chase this guy, hell they might trip and fall and hurt themselves, and the last I saw of it was him disappearing into the streets of Laredo.

I read your reviews, no comment. I agree with everything. Keep posting.

You're the king of budget, and I give you credit for that. I need adopt some of your tactics.

Keep up the good work.

It apparently was a last ditch effort, as many left today for Monterrey, by bus, escorted by Federal Police.

Generally around 6 am, but sometimes even earlier.

Do you know what time taxis start to become available at the pedestrian bridge on Saturday mornings?

Hahaha. That's kinda funny, elites don't ride the bus. Buses are for everyday people, the well to do drive, or even take a taxi, I have seen taxis from Mty in line on the bridge, I have seen taxis from NL in Mty. Some buses are quite comfortable with plenty of leg room. Take the more Senda Select, and enjoy the hassle free ride.

Bbond,

Do you know what time taxis start to become available at the pedestrian bridge on Saturday mornings? If I get on a bus from Nuevo Laredo to Monterrey early on Saturday morning when crime is still asleep it would still give me time to drive to Laredo, TX (park my car) and taxi from the bridge to the Nuevo Laredo bus station and still make it to Monterrey around noon which gives me time to check into my airbnb and start mongering in the afternoon. This give me (at my age) time to have a few experiences Saturday. I could then take the bus back from Monterrey to Nuevo Laredo later on Sunday say around 4:30 pm which puts me in Nuevo Laredo around 7 pm. Since Sunday is a family day in Monterrey, mongering does not pick up until around 12 but some low end spas are open earlier. The drive back to San Antonio from Laredo after 7 pm is easy enough for me to go straight to sleep and go back to work on Monday very alert. This is about the same level of mongering that I would do even with 4 days off in a row. Because taking the bus from San Antonio and back wastes allot of time and does not give me any mongering time for those whole 2 days that I ride the bus. This could be a very discrete (on the down low) type of trip. This would keep me happy while still working in San Antonio where I make good money.

Truest me the Elites are not riding the bus, very low end. I would just drive, you are real not saving money, and wasting a lot of time. It adds 1.5-2.5 hours to the trip, probably more and definitely longer during rush hour.

I agree Bbond. After doing some more research I came to the conclusion that robbers are asking for money and cell phones. However, they do not steal the luggage from the huge compartments under the bus. I could travel with 2 cellphones and keep the cheap one in my pocket while on the bus and the expensive one in my luggage underneath the bus. I could also do the same with my wallet (keep the most valuable one in my luggage and a minimalistic one in my pocket). These types of robberies have also been noted to take place during the Christmas holidays and summer vacations. Robberies during Christmas season also occur in San Antonio. The news also note that young men are also at risk due to possible cartel conflicts and assumptions by the robbers. There was one story from inland Mexico where fed up passengers actually killed to robbers and one died from getting beaten to death. The passengers did not get in trouble for that.

Note that there are at least 3 bus stations in Nuevo Laredo, just tell the cabbie which bus line you are going on to get to the correct station.

You want to take Senda or Del Norte. Just do not ride the bus late at night. Go early in the morning, you will have no issues. Go walk around the Downtown SA or Houston, you are much more likely to run into trouble. The Cartels are not going to mess with the buses, 95% on the bus are poor this would bring unwanted attention. You can not live your life in fear.
