    To clarify, Canadians don't need visas to visit the States. we are granted 6-month stays on entry but the border guard said I had to leave on this date because I had entered the USA 6 months prior for another trip. I wasn't going to question the border guard so i left for Mexico for a few days. Hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I did :D

      Xander, former immigration official here. Just ask the immigration official at the border next time to void the visa. You would be able to enter the U.S. with a renewed entry timer. You can only enter on one status at a time, and since you had a 6 month visa before, you were entering on that status. Ask him to void the visa, and boom you can enter on the 90 day visa waiver timer.

      There's just one thing, buddy. What happens if you were previously on a United States visa and the grace period before leaving the country is questionable?
      Won't you still be barred from entering the United States for at least three years?

    Great video, I did the Mexico visa run when I first came over to the USA. From that, I fell in love with the Mexican desert, especially Baja. since then I've toured by bicycle and guided 4x4 trips down there. I miss the easy border hop now that I'm in Oregon, and glad you got to experience it! One fun note, if you'd have gone to see a mechanic down there, they could probably have fixed your truck for a fraction of the cost. Can't wait for the next upload and keep up the stellar work..Oh and the food, the people... Miss that place so much!

Turns out he really just didn't want me to know about the family he was making. Oh well! It is what it is... I still wish I would have been able to see mexico though. I still think it's beautiful.
