UCSD Student and DACA Recipient in ICE Custody After Making Wrong Turn Near Border - Page 2

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

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

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.

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.

This is dumb.

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.

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?
