Just a FYI, many people that are illegal on both side of the boarder are people that overstay their visas. They did not sneak in. How many time share salesmen in Cabo are legal paperwork wise?

We need to remember that Mexico also has a southern border that has its own set of problems concerning foreigners. Specifically, there are many people entering Mexico illegally from Central America that have no money and are looking to stay permanently in hopes of a better life. The new immigration rules and the tightening up of enforcement is probably driven more by the issues at the southern border than at the northern border.

I hope there is someone reading this message that can read Spanish well enough to translate the rules stated in this document. See section 1.3 on page 26.

It's a pdf file. Maybe your browser doesn't have the Adobe plug-in. Try saving it to disk with a right click and correct menu selection and then opening with Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is free software from Adobe.

The transmigrantes from Central America who travel from the US through Mexico are often robbed, treated terribly by the Mexican officials, and getting through Chiapas is a real challenge. The short lived ferry from Brownsville to Puerto Cortes in Honduras was their dream. We also hoped to use it, but it died.

Immigration is a complicated problem on all borders. While we have always tried to be totally legal in Mexico, we once crossed a less used border from Guatemala on a weekend on our way to the US and ended up with no papers or insurance. It was our choice to continue, but we knew that we were running a risk.
