Please explain how you accidentally end up in another country. I lived in sh*tty Brownsville and never once even remotely accidentally crossed in. There is signage EVERYWHERE, not to mention fences clearly indicating it's a border crossing.
I'm assuming you are speaking of several years ago when the border was more or less far less restrictive (and you could enter sans passport) correct?

Oh, yes. This was more than 10 years ago and I had just moved to Houston from Baton Rouge 2 weeks before. I didn't even know how to get from the outer lane of the loop to the inner so I could exit. Went around the damn thing twice before calling my boss. He told me to hit the horn, punch the gas and turn the wheel. Still follow that advice to this day.
I was driving from Brownsville heading west. Don't even know where I was. Was listening to a book on CD and tuned out, I guess. When I turned back in, I had definitely crossed over without even realizing it. Panicked and called my mom asking her to mapquest where I was based on the last road I remembered the name off. My mom said the road was a dead end and I must have turned off somewhere. I knew I hadn't... that's when I realized that mapquest ended at the US border
