Can I live in Mexico and work in the U.S.? Is it a problem to cross every day?

Question

I plan to work on the U.S. side but live in Mexico. Is it a problem to cross every day?

Answer 1

YES, TOO MUCH TRAFFIC!

Answer 2

It's possible but I suggest that you try to find a safe place to park your car on the US side of the bridge.  The traffic waits can be longer than an hour in the mornings, even in the smaller towns.  You may pay more for parking than you save by living in Mexico.  I have read stories where some people arrive at bridges very early in the morning to cross and then sleep in their cars until time to go to work.

Also, as you know, some border towns on the Mexican side  are unsafe due to the large amount of drug trafficking.

Learn a lot about the Mexican side you want to live on and think about the daily commute before you make the move.  Just make an intelligent choice.  Good luck.

Answer 3

Yes you can do it, a friend of mine works in the U.S.A. and live in Mexico so she cross every day, i thinlk the problem with the traffic is just the weekend or certain hours in the day

Answer 4

Not worth the time and effort. Live in Mexico and work it out where you can stay a few nights a week on the US side...did it for years, not fun.
