I've been visiting Tijuana several times per year since 2010. In May 2017 my buddy Brian (briancollins03...) and I went down to Tijuana to explore the food, music, and culture for a long weekend. We packed a few cameras with the goal of answering one question: "Why would you want to go to Tijuana?"

Clayton. I've read about great Chinese restaurants in Tijuana, and because of growing displaced Haitians, great creole Haitian street food. I remember there was also a great Argentinian restaurant by the big shopping mall and Hotel Lucerna area (river). Thank you again for showcasing Tijuana. I spent time in Tijuana when I would do the annual Rosarito to Ensenada bike ride. Thousands of "gringos" join in the fun doing the inland route and a great free ride back to the start, after a few coronas and whatnot,,:)

Look at it this way, there are 100s of thousands of cities in the world and Tijuana despite its reputation is one that cant be ignored, maybe because of its border status, its controversial fame as one of the most dangerous or its amount of migrants, one thing that is certain is that people know of it across the world.

Hector, I think you may be thinking of the pre-2011 Ley de Migracion which, indeed, was very harsh. In 2011, Mexico updated the law. From Wikipedia: "The new law guarantees that foreigners statelessness and Mexican nationals will receive equal treatment under Mexican law. Under this principle all immigrants, regardless of status are granted the right to access education employment and health services. Mechanisms aimed at promoting family unity are now in place. Moreover, before the government takes action (e.g. deportation) with respect to migrant children and other vulnerable individuals (women, seniors, the handicapped and victims of crime) their specific needs must be prioritized and adequate services must be provided. Migrants are also granted judicial rights that they previously lacked, such as the right to due process." Here is the full text of the current immigration law in English for your research (www.albany.edu/~rk289758/documents/Ley_de_Migracion_en_Ingles.pdf) . Thank you for watching and for your comment.

Current Mexican immigration law is much harsher than US law. Yet the filthy corrupt Mexican government doesn't seem to inforce it when illegal's are just passing through their country on their way to the United States. If all those central American illegal's were stopping in Mexico. They would crack down like nobody's business.

After reaching a new high last year, the bloodshed in Tijuana has continued at an unrelenting pace in the first days of the new year as two powerful drug trafficking organisations battle for control of the city’s lucrative street drug sales.As murders soared to unprecedented levels across Mexico in 2017, Tijuana registered one of the steepest increases in the country. The tally for the year was a record 1,744 murders - almost double the record of 910 homicides set in 2016, according to figures from the Baja California Attorney General’s Office....

I just wish that everyone who says that we don’t need a wall or we should have unlimited immigration, losses their job. It’s easy to be on your high horse when you have a college educated job and put down people who are competing for low wage jobs. But don’t think your job will always be safe, with visas and guests workers and outsourcing- nobody is safe completely. So before you point your finger at other people and feel superior- try putting yourself in their shoes. Things aren’t always as simple as they appear. There’s a lot of people of color who are directly hurt by this ( black lives matter with economics and job opportunities as well)

Pretty much everything, at least what I have seen.

Excellent video, Mexican people are very welcoming to Americans unlike what happens in the USA to Mexicans, it's really too bad that Americans have been fed a lot of horse shit about Mexico. It's good to hear an Americano telling the truth about a beautiful diverse city. I live in San Diego and I cross the border every chance I get for the food, the culture, the friendliness of the people and because it's great to see another culture that loves you more than your own.

I love Tijuana and spent a lot of time there including doing humanitarian, Ministry work, Building Homes, Etc. The People that I have experienced personally have been extremely wonderful. But I always travel in groups. And other a missionary friend of mine tells me not to stray off the beaten path.But for you to say in essence that there are no dangers is naive. I think the bigger danger there is if you live there. Because I've only spoken to ONE person out of several who have lived between Tijuana and Ensenada that wasnt broken into, stolen from, raped, or home invaded. All the others have had one of those experiences. One of my friends almost killed an intruder in Rosarito. And for you to bemoan the border wall is absurd. The border is an absolute necessity and for you to think otherwise and ring your hands over it is childish.

Bingo. It's a unicorns and rainbows attitude. There is a reason people are trying to escape to the U.S. R U L E O F L A W. Those countries operate under the rule of men. Politburo. It's all about who you know. We must uphold the rule of law; hence the coup plotters need to be jailed and bankrupted. That wall separates the rule of men from the rule of law. When you break into the U.S., you just brought the problem with you. Immigrate LEGALLY! The wall prevents chaos from swamping our society.

I grew up in San Diego, early sixtys, those houses used to be made of plywood and cardboard and Calle Revolution had wooden sidewalks, as I remember my childhood family weekends there. We went to the bullfights every Sunday during season. My folks would buy our meat there and I would get to buy and pop off firecrackers right in the street! As a teenager in early 70's we spent many a long weekend surfing Baja and TJ was always the first stop to gather supplies of cheap booze, tobacco and weed...fish tacos were 5 for a dollar!

Everything you said was correct, great hospitality from the locals. The only exception I have is that I didn't feel completely safe at all times, while I was enjoying tacos with the wife at Tacos el Franc, a man in a motorcycle pulled up a civilian with a gun in his pocket showing it off on broad day light walking around that did make the heart beat jump lol. So yah overall definitely safer than what the media portrays but also keep in mind that it's not some haven.

Soon enough, I’m sure. I transplanted to Chino, CA about two years ago. Great video, btw, man. I completely related to people’s reaction to “You’re going to Mexico? 😳 It’s ‘so dangerous.’” Mention anything about a passport or a place where the media has labeled “dangerous” and people usually clam up. The first time I went to TJ was in February of 2017. There was no shortage of newsbits stateside saying that the violence had returned to TJ, blah blah blah. Thus, the first question I asked the Uber driver after crossing through San Ysidro was “Is it actually dangerous these days?” To which he replied, “No, it’s nowhere near as bad as it was several years ago during the war. It’s much safer now.” Cheers, Clayton!
