judybrick Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Is there an American citizen diving across the border in late April that would have room for me, my small dog, and a couple of suitcases? Or I would pay an American to drive me and my small dog (who weighs 22 pounds) and belongings just across the border at Laredo where my daughter could meet me and pick me up. If interested please call me at 376-766-3420 or email me at jbrickman@mac.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhark Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 The border is closed to car traffic right now and has been for over a week. It is open to foot traffic if you want to walk across. For border crossing info and wait times go to: bwt.cbp.gov 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TelsZ4 Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 The border is not closed now.. and hasn’t been closed. An American citizen will have no problems crossing into the US 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artsnob Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 I have some friends who drove to border last week with two small dogs, they did not have correct papers, dogs would have to be quarantined 30 days, so they drove back, I am going to keep the dogs while they fly north for a week...

Then a week of whatever they plan to do. Fly south and a necessary self quarantine of two weeks before leaving the house. Why do I think there's not a chance in hell they'll abide by this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomgates Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 I am the friend of Ian's. No problems crossing. Couple checkpoints in Mexico where they were taking temperatures and handing out leaflets on the Chinese Virus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreboll Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Some of the bridges in the Reynosa area have gone to 8am-4pm hours. Not all the bridges have the same hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuphel Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 We (2 Canadians) crossed at Columbia 2 weeks ago with our 2 dogs. Our dogs have papers (up to date shots; no 'health certificate' as it is not a written requirement in US, Mexico or Canada for crossing). As has been the case with our 18 crossings, north and south now, no one even noticed the 2 dogs. We mentioned them to the Border Guard. He did not ask to see the papers or ask us any questions about them. Same entering Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisbee Gal Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 @fordtruckman WHO calls in Coronavirus and COVID 19. Here is main page WHO's site. I even searched for Chinese virus at WHOs site, but nada. Same with UN site. Please stop making things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
