How Does one make a wrong turn goes through Mexican customs....? It would be common sense to just turn around no?

I noticed that shit happens alot when people just blindly follow the directions in GPS. Those things make mistakes sometimes..

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

You can just make a wrong turn and end up in Mexico? Whoa

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

You still need to go through customs no? I don’t think Mexico would allow him I. Without a passport either?

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

I don't know how you can be so careless.

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

How do you make a wrong turn, sit in line at the port of entry, and accidently go into Mexico?

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

Self deport?

You may have the chance to be legalized and you leave the country now. Seriously, this person wasn't too bright. You should do nothing to potentially jeopardize yourself.

If he did that wouldnt it be Mexican custom agents that greeted him? Who knows how it happened? All im saying is that GPS arent perfect and i wouldnt doubt that maybe it gave him wrong directions or he was confused by the directions. Ive had GPS tell me to take a turn on lanes that were HOV only, ive had it also just straight up get the street names wrong. Those things arent perfect.

For those who think it can’t happen well it can happen. I was very close to being one of them. Before the era of smartphones and GPS I was driving and wasn’t very familiar with the freeways and got lost. Then all of a sudden I saw the huge sign that read MEXICO and luckily I was able to rapidly exit on the San Ysidro exit which was the last US exit. Had I not exit, cars would have start lining up behind me and I would have been stuck and deported back to Mexico. It was a scary moment for me.

However that was back in the days, now there is so much technology to not get lost.

I don't buy this shit

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

wow, this is why i am afraid of living in border states

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

I wouldnt want to live near the border is I was undoc... I Dont understand how people can live like that. Its like they are asking to get deported.

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

I understand you can get lost. Who hasn't taken a wrong exit or made a wrong turn?

But end up in Mexico knowing the risk? You have to be already stupid.

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

This is dumb.

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

I can tell many of you have obviously never been to the border in San Diego. It is fairly easy to get lost. It probably happens to thousands of people every year. I have heard of a couple already.

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

He didn't end up at the border crossing. Instead you can make a wrong turn, cross the into the 100 mile DMZ, run into CBP checkpoint. "Orr Yakobi?, sounds really Mexican to me".

We have threads like this every single week: I am driving from X to Y, will I be fine?

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

This can happen. My friends were on their way to Arizona from Virginia. One is citizen and other PR thankfully but they were surprised with a checkpoint in the border of New Mexico near El Paso. They gave one of my friends a really hard time for not having her GC w her. She says it was scary and definitely advised me against road tripping to visit Arizona.

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

I live about 2 exits away from there, been here about 10 years. It sounds silly if you've never been near there, but any single fuckin one of you could make the same mistake.

If you stay on the I-5 south it'll announce with large signs that says "Last US EXIT" - now if you miss that, then you're an idiot. Also, there is no line exiting the country, only on the way back in.

What probably happened to this guy was he was going horizontally on the map at some point, along the border town. There, it may just say I-5 South for an on ramp, let's say you take that and you were already at the last exit, it's funneled into the port of exit, no room to turn around unless you stop in the middle of the freeway (which will probably get you booked anyways).

It's happened to US Citizens plenty as well, one of my friends got lost and ended up in this situation, basically got x-rayed on the way back with like a 3 hour wait + 2 interviews (he's white/citizen btw).

Basically as swim said, use caution if you're near the border and unfamiliar with the area.

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

That is really unfortunate that he is in this situation :/ but he did not go through the border right? he just made a wrong turn before exiting. I haven't had time to read the entire article.

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

That checkpoint is permanent.
I have been through there several times with only my EAD.
Your GC holder friend just wasn't informed and prepared.

Re: UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Borde
 

Yes they had no idea about it. And I didn't know you could use EAD! That's great. I was thinking against going through there because of it. Thanks for the info.
