In the early 90s, I went to a major city in central Mexico. I was traveling with a business partner senior to me and a business partner who was born in Mexico but was a long term citizen of the US since age 11. We were staying with the wealthiest business family in that city doing some consulting work and discussing future partnerships for work in Mexico where they would be the lead JV member as they were politically connected Mexican citizens of great wealth.
They had a nice Mariachi band that hung around their office — they were all armed bodyguards. When we went by car anywhere, we had a specially modified high speed vehicle and multiple phones. There is very little middle class, but what middle class we met loved the US and our products.

Thanks!
Yes, thank you!
I have been there and done that. I worked for a big company that manufactured at a big maquiladora near the border. I went to the Mexican immigration office and was fingerprinted etc. They even ask for religious affiliation. They ask if your parents are still living. They ask if you have ever been married. If you are married but get divorced you must inform the Mexican immigration authorities. I was issued a FM-3 visa with my picture. I had it with me at all times in case the Mexican immigration authorities visited the factory. Of course, all of this is done in one language, Spanish.
I did not have a problem with doing this. Mexico is a sovereign country. All sovereign countries deserve to have their immigration laws respected by foreigners.
Exactly. I was a stationed at Holloman AFB, NM about 90 miles north of El Paso. It was easy back in the 60s and 70s to travel across the border and back without too much hassle.
I want no part of the turd-world shit hole.
Been there...won't never go back, ain't missing nothing.
LOL! Ya got that right!
At least the same, or maybe even more difficult, for missionaries sent to Mexico. Pay for all of them, especially as they minister to the intimidated citizen/slaves of the drug cartels.
Last time I was there, Ford’s engineers working at Autovidrio in Juarez lived in El Paso, and drove across Rio Grande creek and back daily.
