I think you are full of chit.
The Mexican customs people at TJ and Otay know their chit. You mistake your infrequent interaction with low-level agents at the border as infusing
you with “knowledge” of the border — you say you crossed Nogales or Baja border “a few times,” and now you (and other nomads) are experts.
The amount of trade between socal and TJ is immense. The TJ/SY border xing is one of the busiest in the world. The DF guys AND local guys got a
system, they know their laws, they got objectives/plan, and are probably doing OK at meeting objectives/plan — and they are making the border work
for them — not for you. Your myopic misperceptions are based on occasional jaunts across the border to get cheap dental work.
The anecdotes of a few car-camping tourists or gringo pensioners getting or not getting FMMs are meaningless. Your occasional small-scale tourism
visits pale in comparison to the daily cross border trade and regular commuting across border (workers, business people, students, shoppers).
Woke!

Presumptuous much? I've been living on the mainland for 20 years, I'm not a tourist who comes to get my teeth fixed on the cheap, nor a pensioner. I
run a business and pay taxes in Mexico, drive a Mexican-plated car and speak Spanish. And am a lot more informed about INM and customs regulations
than you, apparently.
And your reading comprehension skills are sadly lacking. I clearly said I was a permanent resident. And my "occasional jaunts" across the border were
from Mexico, where I live, to Canada for short visits, not from the US into Mexico for a short visit.
