That's true, the only way I ever found it coming or going was because my friend, who lives in the "Campos" South of San Felipe, knows all the routes in and around Mexicali and knows all the border crossing points and Mexican offices as well. He leads, we follow!
And yes, he uses alternate crossing points to avoid the 2 hour wait. Even so, we split lanes to the front of the line!
From what I've seen in the last 5 or so years is that there is A LOT of construction in the border zones recently. You see it massively in Tijuana, but probably elsewhere too. Entering Tijuana is a totally different with a maze of new (temporay?) roads, an ALL NEW Migracion/Aduana building (huge) as well.
The USA side has undergone change as well. So much more "militarized".
 Looks a bit like East Berlin pre The Wall coming down.
