This holiday weekend many are traveling out of town to visit family.
And that includes people from Mexico traveling into the U.S. for the Fourth of July weekend.
Hundreds of people are traveling from Mexico in buses.
According to CBP agents there has been an increase in bus travel rather than people traveling in their own vehicles.
Over the weekend CBP is expecting to have thousands of travelers crossing our port of entries and they are already preparing for it.
"We will be monitoring the traffic at both bridges. We will have all lanes open at bridge one and two."
But CBP has one message to send to all travelers.
Fireworks are not allowed into the United States from Mexico.
