I too do not pay mordida but thousands of Mexicans do every week. Over the years Presidents have fired the entire staff of Aduaneros ( Salinas, Fox and more)They replaced the old guys in dirty green uniforms with young hip college types in Blue uniforms. Many spoke English. But soon they too learned that there is a lot of $$ to be made. I know a fellow who has a second hand store in Sonora. Ever 2 weeks he goes to Tucson and loads his pickup with 2nd hand junk. At the border he is given a choice. Pay the mordida and go. Or take of all the straps, ropes and tarps. Ten he is to lay out all the merchandise and make a list with values. He would then pay the duty and spend 2 hours reloading. He just pays the mordida. Borders are very corrupt.
