Musing of one remembering when travel between San Diego and Mexico was a common thing.

I am reminded of the story about the Swedish exchange student in San Diego who accompanied his host to Tijuana to the Jai Alai games.  When they got ready to return he found he forgot his international student visa so he had no means of ID. His host devised a plan for him to tell the customs officer that he was born in Idaho. They rehearsed this plan intensively and headed for the U.S. The customs officer asked everyone in the car where he or she was born; when he came to the exchange student the student forgot his lines and said Odahi.  I don't know what happened after that.

Today it might create quite an international incident.
