There have been in the past, at least on 1 occasion,
Gringos boarding a plane out of Los Cabos, whose
children didn't have a tourist card, Mex Imm made them
purchase one before they were allowed to board back
to the US. Driving down I'm not sure I would bother
with a minor having 1,
you could get different answers for that ?, depending
who you talk to at Mex Imm at the border. Anyone can
cross back to the US with just a DL/ birth cert.
That post I picked up from San Carlos, Sonora, mex
Imm claims everyone in the car needs an fmm,
although he wasn't specifically talking about minors,
so there you have it, clear as mud

we have been stopped with our four minor children at G.N, and made to get them, immigration was not ammused.

The kids are going to need passports for the impending move anyway Soulpatch. Might as well get it out of the way now. I renewed mine this past December before the move south, and got the passport card as well. Now I only carry the card and my FMM, and leave the passport at home. Having all the bases covered is the best way to avoid even a tiny hassle!;)

the imn office at tj put the minors on the parents tourist to save money

i was there

so actually there was not a separate tourist visa for the minor

you better check and see if you can still do this
