Nuevo Laredo

[Michael Morris]

Those providers in NL paper,

1. What is charge for outservice to hotel NL?

2. Will any downtown hotel do?

I would imagine that the fact that you and your son look and sound Mexican had everything to do with the hassle you got.

The person in question is my nephew. Neither he nor his father look nor sound Mexican. In fact if you saw them or spoke to them, you could easily mistake them for big, white rednecks from Tennessee or Mississippi or South Carolina or. Both white as lillies and if anything New York accents.

I would imagine that the fact that you and your son look and sound Mexican had everything to do with the hassle you got. If he is however a US citizen he should have made it clear that he wasn't going anywhere but into his country. I'm a very obviously big, white, redneck from Tennessee so I can see how it would be easier for me. If they were to give me ANY crap about not being let back in I would raise so much hell you'd hear me in Canada. Last time I went down their was a Pakistani guy in my group who did get held up at the border on the return but only for about 20 minutes.

I hate for my first report to be negative but. You are either the luckiest man that I have ever heard of or my son and myself are the unluckiest.

I am a Mexican citizen and my son is a US citizen born in Houston, Texas of a Salvadorian mom. Both of us (mom and myself) were living legally in Houston at the time of his birth. My ex wife and I seperated when my son was 2 years old. He is now 21 years old. I had not seen him since she took him to El Salvador at the age of 2.

I got a call from my ex Sister-in-Law in May telling me that my son was in Houston and wanted to meet me. We made arrangements for my S-I-L and her husband to bring Jr. To meet me in Nuevo Laredo. We have traveled throughout Mexico since May.

On Sunday Sept. 13 Jr. And myself spent the night in Nuevo Laredo and were to drive to Houston on Monday the 14th. When we got to inspection at bridge #1 about 9:00am, Jr. Could not find his passport. We were sent to inspection. All of our possession were gone through, still no passport.

Jr. Did have in his possession his Texas Birth Certificate and both a valid Texas DL and a valid state of New York ID.

Jr. Was not allowed to enter back into the US with these documents. We were referred to the US Consulates office in Nuevo Laredo.

On Tuesday Sept. 15 we went to the Consulates office and were told to return on the 17th, which we did, explained out situation to a very unsympathetic US Govt employee. They would see what they could do.

Finally on Monday Sept. 28 Jr. Got a replacement passport and he was finally allowed to return to Houston. We made 6 visits to the Consulates office between 15th and 28th. We encountered 3 other people that had the problem of entering Mexico and trying to return home without a passport.

One elderly lady told us that she had told both the border agent at bridge #2 and the consulates office that she was unaware of the new law of requiring a passport to re-enter the US. She told us that both told her that "ignorance of the law is no excuse".

I do not know that this is a regular occurance on the part of the Border Agents nor how often it has happened, but can tell you that it happened to Jr. And at least three other people since the middle of September.

It is true that they can not keep you from re-entering the US without a passport. But I would hate to think of what might have happened if Jr. Had not even had a passport to begin with.

Just the unpleasantness of being sent inside is enough for me to reply to this post.

If I was a US citizan and did not have a US Passport, I personally would not even consider making the trip to Nuevo Laredo.

You might want to ask on USASexguide.info as it covers the north side of the river. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

No, you will not. I go down to NLBT about once every 6 weeks or so and as long as you have your drivers license you're fine getting back in. They'll ask you where you were born and look up something on the computer and then let you through. If you have a copy of your birth certificate (as well as your license) they won't even do that. I went ahead and got my passport anyway just in case they finally decide to start enforcing it but they're not doing it yet.

Passports are required for all travel to Mexico.

You will hassled with and possibly fined.

[Dihaji]

You will be sent to secondary and thoroughly questioned.......

This sounds like it would not be pleasant? Not really sure what it means to be sent to secondary, but I am a U.S. Citizen, so I am not worried about that.. but would they think less of me if I told them that I went across the border to get laid?? =)

Anyways, you already answered my question. thank you Bbond. They can not keep me from coming back to the U.S. then, it will just be a hassle coming back, that is my understanding as of now.

Another question, because of the conditions right now in NL, has anyone heard of providers popping up in Laredo, TX? Sorry for the 101 questions, but I still have a house down there and am planning to visit in the next few weeks, want to hear from you guys that are up to date with things in the area.

Thanks

I am curious, are they enforcing the passport rule when coming back to the U.S.? Lets say, I was to go and then coming back I told them that I did not know I needed a passport? Would they let me back in to the U.S.?
