Being a local here in the Calexico border, we usually drop off the person who doesn't have the sentri pass right before you cross and they go through the pedestrian lane. It usually is a 10-15 min wait time. Then we just pick them up on the other side of the border. I know it is not the best scenario, but beats having to wait in a three hour back up. These coming weeks folks will be on spring break, so long backups. You can always check Border wait time at (760) 768-2383 or download the BWT app on your phone. If you you go through the east port there is no wait time on the pedestrian crossing, but you do have to walk around 1/4 mile to the gas station across the border. There are no parking signs on the road between the border crossing and the gas station. Do not stop and pick anyone up in that area. It can be a $250 mistake, speaking from experience. I'm informing you about the east port because during this time there is a long backup in the pedestrian line at the west port. Have a safe and fun trip and save some fish for when I go.
