“Everytime you go to a hotel, you have to let them see your passport and visa.”
I’ve had to show aircraft and personal papers at every airport i’ve landed at in Mexico but never once at a hotel.
Is the American public so f’in stupid they can’t see the hypocracy in that b**ner’s words. Good lord, they are worse, by far, than the US.
SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know what to tell you.
Are you near the border? Or a tourist area? or is it a non-major hotel change? The tourist non-chain hotels in tourist areas don’t ask.
Stayed at Best Western, Hilton, etc... you should have been required when you were signing for your room.
Good for Wolf.
No one forced them to enter our country and we are NOT responsible for these illegals. Calderon is counting on them sending money back to Mexico.
These Illegals are Mexican Citizens and Calderon is responsible for them, not us. He's exporting his poverty and turning into dollars for Mexico. We've been had.
A few of the cities that i’ve been to off hand are:
La Paz,Obregon, Mexico City, Guymas, San Blas, Guadalahara, Matzalan, Loreto, San Carlos, Hermasillo, Acapulco.
Only at airports have I ever shown papers to anyone in Mexico and then most of them only want to see the aircraft papers.
We are talking Motels and Hotels.
Also, if you search google, many people are now saying that buses in Mexico get stopped and passports checked as well.
I didn’t get checked in with a passport in Tj, but in Monterrey it was required.
Most hotels do not accept drivers license form the US as a valid id, you have to either have a Mexico issued id or a passport to use your credit card.
Don’t know how they would dare accept your credit card or anything that wasn’t cash without id.
Once you present your passport for id, they record it and pass it on to the police.
“We are talking Motels and Hotels.”
That’s what i’m saying, i’ve never shown a visa, passport, id, etc. to stay at any hotel in Mexico and i’ve stayed at dozens of them.
I’ve not had to show Id to use a credit card either.
In the late 80s I had a mexican checking account when I was flying into Mexico twice a week and used it and cash most of the time.
I’ve probably been to Mexico well ovewr 500 times over the last 60 years for fishing, business, and vacations.
Until the PRI is back in control and PAN is voted out i’ll not set foot back in Mexico!
I don’t know, I have been in there 5-6 times a year for the last 20. I haven’t ever been able to use a US ID for my credit card at the hotel except for border cities.
Maybe you just look like a trusting guy.
Most of them take out a magnifying glass on mine. They are worried that I will reject the charges and they get left holding the bag.
We are stricter on our own citizens than illegal aliens. Not only do most motels/hotels send a listing of the people who checked into their establishments to the police so they can check for possible warrants, the police also run all of the license plates on the cars in the parking lot. Wait a sec.. Hey Arizona, here is another "police contact" possibility.
