Drivers Wait Hours to Cross US-Mexico Border into San Diego County
The Tijuana Police deployed about 100 officers to control traffic around the city
Drivers crossing into the United States from Tijuana, Mexico on the Memorial Day holiday were facing lines of up to seven hours at the San Ysidro border crossing.
Even the Ready Lane and the pedestrian lines, which typically move faster, were facing severe backlogs on Monday. Several in the Ready Lane reported to Telemundo 20 the wait to cross into the U.S. was about four hours.
The Tijuana Police deployed about 100 officers to control traffic around the city.
While the delay was most likely caused by a surge in travel across the border over the long holiday weekend, part of the delay was also due to a group of protesters at the border. The group was demanding radiation aid from the Mexico Ministry of Health.
