border

<p></p>
<p>&nbsp;First came the long lines to get into Tijuana. Then Mexican customs or “aduanas” fired thousands of agents across Mexico to be replaced with wide-eyed 18 year olds with little work experience, and now, the plan to start inspecting all vehicles going south has come to a halt and could start working in late September with some modifications.</p>
<p>&nbsp;What the hell is happening?</p>

<p></p>
<p>&nbsp;Two hours in the scorching heat. The endless line of cars is unbearable, nothing is moving except inside the metal cans holding restless passengers hostage, fighting their way to move through just four lanes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;No, this is not a description of the border wait going north, but about the futile intent of thousands of residents trying to go back to Tijuana from California.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Dos horas en el asfixiante calor… y la fila que no avanza, extendiéndose en cientos de latas metálicas atrapando a sus tripulantes que intentan pasar por apenas unos cuantos carriles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;No, esto no es una crónica del cruce a San Diego por la garita de San Ysidro, sino del intento de miles de tijuanenses por cruzar desde San Diego a Tijuana que se ha vuelto una tortura igual que el viaje Sur-Norte, pero sin los vendedores ambulantes de aguas y burritos de machaca.</p>
