Dead as a DODO...

FM-3, FMM, whatever. The point is the same, does he have paperwork to work in Mexico?

I had a pretty good 12 pesos fish taco the other day, not.50 but
pretty close at 18.5 to the $.

This is a valid point, whatever it is called now, any non-Mexican who wants to perform work (even if for no pay) cannot without a work visa. Generally, requires a sponsor (the Mexican employer) and must prove that the job cannot be performed by a Mexican citizen available there.

Unlike the U.S., Mexico protects its citizens from foreigners who seek jobs in their country...

It may not be difficult for the potential employer to sponsor a new, foreign employee. The point is your FMM Tourist Card (we all must have anywhere in Mexico, no matter how short a time) is for TOURIST ACTIVITIES. Not for working, keeping property in Mexico when your vacation is over, or participating in political activities.

I don't think that's completely true

I've seen people get temp visas and when asked they say they are coming in for business...the app has a place for that I guess

they weren't turned away and paid the same as everyone else

I don't think visas are ONLY for vacationers

If you are responding to my reply Bob, I didn't mean to imply any of that. I was concurring with MMc, that a 'vacationing tourist' is not legally able to get a job in Mexico, that he/she needs the correct 'visa' for that. 'Tourists' don't come to Mexico to take jobs away from Mexicans. They come to vacation, spend money and sight-see, and relax.

The US most certainly protects its own before granting a work visa!

Not without a wall because our border is not respected! Back when our economy was flourishing (pre-2008) the number of male Mexican and Central American nationals crowding Home Depot parking lots and other locations to get day jobs was huge here in Southern California.

No, he needs to find a job first right?

Unless things have changed or he has become a Mexican citizen, he needs permission from the Mexican government to legally hold any kind of job in Mexico. He might find an employer first so he has a sponsor to help convince the government (INM) officials to grant him the working visa?
Good luck!
