Following a backlash from residents, visitors and protests from business leaders in Baja California, the pilot program to charge foreigners to enter Mexico has been suspended.

The pilot program, announced on Nov. 13 by the National Institute of Immigration, also known as INAMI, would have required foreigners who enter Mexican territory for more than seven days to pay 306 pesos, or about $28. Initially, the program was only going to charge foreigners who entered Mexico through the pedestrian port of entry at Otay.

Well, then there’s one difference between the US & Mexico.

They try something that doesn’t work and they stop doing it.

I was living in Mexico for part of 2013 and part of 2014. Mexico needs to pay people to enter that filthy sh**hole.

Typical Customs’ Entry Conversation:

CA: Why are you entering Mexico today, sir; business or tourism?

Jihadi: I am here to cross the border into the US and take an entry-level job away from a deserving citizen.

CA: Welcome to Mexico!
Please enjoy your short stay here.
You are free to go.
Your luggage and suicide vest will not need to be searched or declared.

Back in my youth, when I spent a lot of time in Mexico, I wouldn’t have paid for it, and now they couldn’t pay me to go there.

They’ll just collect it roadside in the traditional manner.
