Sounds exactly like our experience to have our FM3's renewed for the past 4 years

This will affect thousands of mexicanos in 4 large states because to get a tourist visa, even if you just want to go shopping for a day or visit a relative or go to a relatives funeral, visit your brother in a hospital etc.etc....you have to make an appointment a month in advance...pay a hundred US dollars (just tomake the appointment) go to the US consulate office in TJ, stand in line, spend the whole day there waiting to MAYBE get a visa (a huge majority DONT get them). So picture this...your father livining in san diego is dying...you are a good hardworking mexican...but still pretty poor...now how are you gonna afford to go to Mexico City just to get a visa to visit your poor papa in hospital. This hugely affects mexicans who want/need to get to the states or through it....thousands of mexicans every week go to the US consulate to beg for a visa...many of them are legit people just wanting to either visit a friend or relative or see the great U S of A....all you have to do to go fill up your tank with deisel is drive across the border...how fair is THAT???

Yes but again, this won't effect "mexicanos"... Only Certain American Citizens, BUT only certain American Citizens....
