Americans are now being charged to enter Mexico at all border access points. At the cross in San Ysidro and San Diego, the cost is $200 to enter into Mexico, on top of all of the other fees that already go along with passports and visas.

The Associated Press released the news in the midst of all of the border crossing issues that have surfaced because of elections. So for now, Americans will be unable to get into Mexico without paying the hefty toll. Mexicans who enter into America though will be able to continue doing so for free. On top of that many never file proper paperwork and end up living here illegally while receiving benefits from large federal organizations.

Border agents near San Diego have told us that the process for additional payment is indeed only applicable to white Americans. Hispanics of any status are allowed to cross without issue as it would “just take too much time to check every person of Mexican background.” The agents also told us that it takes about an hour to get through the “additional payment” transaction completely. For Mexicans though, passing through the border only takes as fast as is necessary for cars to move through.
