Anyone who can't afford $27 every six months for a tourist card should go back to their mom's basement.
And, more to the point, Mexicans pay a lot more to come visit the U.S. Several times as much.

flight fare, although the airlines do show it in a breakdown (and temp and permanent residents are exempt from paying it and can either talk to the
airline before booking or request a refund of the tourism tax). And all tourists are charged the tourism tax on the mainland when driving in.
Currently that tax is about $27 Canadian, which is MORE than 350 pesos. |
Well, wouldnt this new tax be IN ADDITION to the tourist visa?
At least with the tourist visa, there is the justification of processing people into the country.
This probably wont affect the hordes that fly into Cabo. If you can afford Cabo, what's another 350 pesos? But it could hurt marginal tourist areas.
And, in the end, we will read about some future state official who disappeared with millions. It's ongoing in a couple other states in Mexico right
now.

issue. |
i would be interested in knowing what method you employed to determine where the "mexico general public's" sympathies lie?

Direct inquiry. You can use the same method, or you can simply join the ranks of the head-in-sand arrogant US a-holes who think Mexico can't live
without us because they really need our money.
Second time recently you've tried to confront me. Is it on with you and me, Mr. Bob? I'm all for it if you have a mind to mix it up, but you'd best
have your crap together.

Mexicans have to pay a $160 USD application fee to get a tourist visa to visit the good ol' USA. That's just to apply and is non-refundable if the
applicant is denied.
