EastCoasterI strongly prefer women of color. Every color.
Glad you made it :-)
I sure hope you visited Adelitas, since you were only 50 yards away from it?

minnowAny place that interests me.
I owned a home 3 miles from the mighty Mons Venus in the 1990s. I've met the owner a couple of times, thanked him each time for putting up with the crap the city has given him.
Yes, I've been to the Tanga Lounge many times too. Sad to see a darn bridge end the life of such a place. Great memories....

No offense, but i don't think I learned anything from reading this I didn't know when I was 15 years old. Pretty simple solution, really. I've danced with so many strippers I can't come close to counting them all, but this didn't " happen " to this guy, he actively pursued it.

For those interested, here is a third party site (not the US Government, Customs and Border Patrole, etc) which describes some of the details.

I have visited 60 countries, so I was simply sharing my core interests and background with the Immigration official. Even with my Passport's page additions, but all those countries are not within the Passport I carry -- when he saw pages of VISAS in Cyrillic, we automatically knew my core interest was not to go to Tijuana's Zona Norte.
Keep in mind, by the time he sat me down for the actual interview, he already knew my background was spotless, so he spent just a few seconds confirming and then shifted to the post approval training.
That being said, I showed him that travel background for a specific reason, to take the conversation away from exactly what you and I are discussing. I use the card for all purposes, and didn't want to get hung up on Tijuana's features.
So the short answer to your question is yes, as I didn't want to get hung up on Tijuana when he is probably very familiar with guys doing sex runs across the border--his border :-) In fact, when he approved my application I immediately went across the border to the Zona Norte and fucked a SG:-)
I enter the Global Entry card number into my airline profiles, and any tickets print with the highly valued TSA Pre check, for both domestic and international flights.
The goal I've anyways had was time savings while traveling, and that Global Entry card is useful at every turn.

SJG,
Global Entry is primarily international air travel, with Mexico just one of 180 countries. SENTRI may be what you're asking about, which is land crossings in North America only. In Tijuana, they share a priority line, because they are the top level of security. Other than that, they are completely different as described above.
If you are asking only about crossing into Mexico, and not about the Global Entry card, then their questions are going to be Mexico and Canada specific. When I did the in person interview for my Global Entry card near the Tijuana border, I told the guy I'd been to 60 countries and my primary interest was in the 120 countries I'don't not yet visited. The interview happened at the TJ Immigration office, but I made it clear Mexican was tangential or coincidental. BTW, in the 10 minute interview I did, we direct only 30 seconds talking about countries. I showed him my Passport, with stamped VISAS in the Cyrillic alphabet, page after page, and he realized Mexican land crossings were not my interests, so he switched gears and spent the interview training me how to use the Global Entry card in the kiosks I'd likely find around the globe.
In that way, I avoided any questions about Mexico.
So rather than answer questions about the Mexican land border crossing purpose only, do you have a strong interest in the Global Entry, or SENTRI? I can address either, just trying to understand your interests.

With the 120 murders in Tijuana since Jan 1, maybe that's a good thing! All kidding aside, I think you may be right, Both Federal Governments have spent fortunes on this border in the past 2-3 years, and it does not seem to be slowing at all, so what is the next step? The way I see it, Mexico decided to get serious about eliminating the US Felons who come across their International border, and facial scans are likely not that expensive.

Honestly, if I were going to be doing business in Mexico regularly, this is one of the first purchases I'd make. But maybe this is just me.
My experience in driving in Mexico, even though both the SENTRI and Global Entry cards allow the registration of a vehicle, and have a separate lane labeled SENTRI, is not familiar to me. My car has a sports suspension, and due to the reputation of many roads in Northern Mexico, I chose not to register or drive my car there. That being said, the Tollways have a much, much, better reputation than virtually any other type of road. The borders and lines in and out of Tijuana are undergoing huge improvements, the airport in TJ is far easier to get to than anytime in the past, and it is therefore tough to give any details which are not going to be outdated in 2-3 months. Because of the many improvements, I'll refrain from offering any details at this time, but generally, it is all good news for people crossing the border. The first time you cross into Mexico, take your US Passport and or Passport card and buy a 180 day Mexican VISA--that gets you legal access to most parts of Northern Mexico, whereas the 7 day VISA gets you legal access to only Tijuana. The 180 day Mexican VISA costs only $20.
I am happy to answer additional questions, as appropriate.

SJG,
I forgot to add, you now need a Visa from the Mexican government, along with a US Passport (except in very rare situations), to do a " routine " border crossing in Tijuana, so if someone is going both into and out of Mexico to the Zona Norte, he/she is already most of the way toward providing 80-90 % of this information. The new Mexican border crossing regulations for US Citizens has changed radically in the past 6 months, and therefore any semblance of routine crossings is gone.

SJG,
As my original article said, this is part of a program called the Trusted Traveler program. As the other card holder who posted above has affirmed, there is a background check with either the Global Entry and SENTRI cards, including enough information for them to do a Felony search using name, aliases, SSN, current and prior addresses, etc. .They did not do a verification of employment, but I did give them the name of my employer. To me, this is not a huge amount of information, since they already have most of it associated with my US Passport
Total cost per year is about the same as a lap dance. I don't recommend this for anyone with Felony convictions in their past.

MJX,
I did my Global Entry interview at the Tijuana border, but because the Global Entry is used for entry into the USA from most international airports in the USA, it makes perfect sense to me they'd need to do the interviews at or near those same airports.

Estafador,
Global Entry, as the name implies, is for Global Travel, and is much broader in its features than the SENTRI card. SENTRI is primarily used for land crossings in North America (Mexico and Canada). If you currently travel inside the USA, THE Global Entry card has an important feature caked TSA pre check, to save you lots of time in domestic flights as well.
Other differences are that you have to have a passport to get Global Entry (but not for SENTRI). With Global Entry you pay the fees up front before you know if you've been accepted (while with SENTRI you pay an application fee, and if accepted, you pay the rest). The overall cost of SENTRI is about $20 more, though. Also, for Global Entry, you have to be a US Citizen or Permanent Resident (or a resident of a small list of other countries), while for SENTRI, you just have to have legal entry documents to the US.
Both the Global Entry and SENTRI are paid in 5 year periods. The SENTRI is more expensive.

SJG and others : the link you provided is accurate for SENTRI pricing, but the price for a Global Entry card is only $100 for 5 years.

As others have said, your big mistake was using Backpage. If you want accurate information, use eroticmp.com. Some shills write there, but generally it is far, far, more helpful than backpage, which lacks reviews by users.
