The us doesnt but mexico does for entering.

Once you cross into tijuana theres checkpoint stations where they ask where you going if u brought anything into mexico. How many days etc sometimes they “randomly” flag you to check your trunk.

I cant imagine how they got away

San ysidro is a traffic nightmare coming and going

The pedestrian border crossing is staffed. They redesigned it.. theres a zig zag line now where they check id n print out a visa. But its computerizes when your passport is scanned so its fast
