What is the shuttle trolly called

I think CBP can be lax or stricter depending on when you go. However a couple of notes there is a difference between a Normal Drivers License, a Real ID, and an Enhanced Drivers License.

First, Normal Drivers License will soon not be able to be used as identification for flights within the Continental United States. This basically means domestically from state to state.

Second, Real ID’s can and will be required if you want to use them as Identification when you fly domestically. I’m assuming he was able to get by with his Real ID last time because Customs was more lax.

Finally, Enhanced Drivers License can only be provided by five states in the US. The five states that can issue an Enhanced Drivers License are Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont, and Washington.

Taken straight from DHS Website –

“Enhanced Drivers License (EDLs) are state issued enhanced drivers licenses that provide proof of identity and U.S. citizenship when crossing the U.S. border in a vehicle. They are issued in a secure process, and include technology that makes travel easier. EDLs are a low-cost, convenient option for entering the United States from Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean through a land or sea port of entry, in addition to serving as a permit to drive.

EDLs make it easier for U.S. citizens to cross the border into the United States because they include:
* A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip that will signal a secure system to pull up your biographic and biometric data for the CBP officer as you approach the border inspection booth.
* A Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) or barcode that the CBP officer can read electronically if RFID isn't available.”
Since California does not offer EDLs he was only able to use a Real ID and with that alone results may vary. I personally have a Passport but if I was able to get an EDL it would certainly be great if I was going through the border by foot or car.

I went with my California id and the cbp didn't tell me anything

Everyone please follow along: tee-juana, NOT tee-uh-juana.

So what would happen if you didn’t have a passport

My wife and use to go to Tijuana as part of our California trips back in the 90s.Fun times. Nice video Jefferson!

Hmmm. I see at 0:03 that you have a new background. Is that (I don't know what you call it) fabric hanging behind you something you picked up in Tijuana? I suppose if you change your background to match the topic of your video, like the picture you had hanging of the road and mountains, then that is actually a great idea!
