As of March 1, 2010, all U.S. citizens – including children -- must present a valid passport, book or card, for travel beyond the border zone into the interior of Mexico. Entry by any means, for example by plane or car, is included in this requirement. U.S. citizens traveling as tourists beyond the border zone or entering Mexico by air must pay a fee to obtain a tourist card, also known as an FM-T, available from Mexican border crossing points, Mexican tourism offices, airports within the border zone and most airlines serving Mexico. Upon arrival in Mexico, business travelers must complete and submit a form (Form FM-N 30 days) authorizing the conduct of business, but not employment, for a 30-day period. Travelers entering Mexico for purposes other than tourism or business or for stays of longer than 180 days require a visa and must carry a valid U.S. passport. U.S. citizens planning to work or live in Mexico should apply for the appropriate Mexican visa.

Uh, and no, I am NOT every visiting Mexico.
You’ll need some body guards.
We HAVE to go to Cancun in August (medical)....NOT looking forward to it...at...all.
You need a lobotomy!
Mexico enforces it’s request for “your papers please” with guns.
I wonder when the Mexicans are going to turn on their commie masters?
Do you plan to come back? If so then yes.
And an exit plan.
Either bottled water or Immodium
You missed my point. Mexico has all these requirements for Americans traveling in Mexico, yet they think we should look the other way at the 10 million without any documentation in our country.
Bring kaopectate.
Act surprised when you see sewage running down the highway ditches.
Act surprised when you see police in jeeps with machine guns.
The little kids will love you if you give them money. Yes, that would be the mother pimping the kid.
Don't drink the water.
You also won’t be able to donate blood when you come back.
You’re going to Mexico?? Why not make it easier on yourself and just have a nice vacation in downtown Detroit. At least English is spoken there...to some small degree. And it may even be LESS dangerous!
I'm also pretty certain they enforce immigration across their southern border quite seriously.
Well of course.
Mexico considers it a BORDER for Gringos traveling south.
And a FENCE for “migrants” traveling north.
Cancun’s not bad. It’s not like Hermosillo. Unless things changed a lot.
I used to go to border towns in and near AZ a lot, but I have not been there in years. It isn’t safe. I almost feel sorry for the Pharmacias that lost all the Senior Citizen trade.
Here in America as tax paying citizenswe have the “freedom” to not buy health insurance and we can go to jail. But cross the border- get someone elses ss# or id theft and you expect to be treated better than a US citizen? unbelieveable.
They enforce everything the same. Try and buy a house there.
I wonder when the Mexicans are going to figure out their real problem is their communist government. The election are just for the useful idiots.
You only need to file a Last Will and Testament with your lawyer before leaving for Mexico. That is the document you will need.
