Is this Mexico Immigration Crisis really being blown out of proportion? Let’s talk about it!

Just recently there has been a lot of confusion about what is going on in Mexico concerning immigration.  Are Americans and Canadians getting deported? Yes.  Do I really need to carry my original immigration documents with me? Yes.  Have some people been able to get away with showing copies of their documents? Yes.  Have people been denied entry or given less than 180 days when doing border runs to renew their tourist FMM? Yes.  Have people been able to get another 180-day FMM when doing border runs? Yes.  Have tourist been issued less time than requested when arriving at the airport on their FMM?  Yes.  Have some tourist at the airport gotten the amount of days they requested with no problems? Yes.

Sounds confusing right?  What I just said is full of contradictions wasn’t it.  So, which one is it?  Sounds like you’re blowing this out of proportion.  Well, the answer to all these questions are not black and white and I’m going to try to sift through all this confusion and hopefully this will leave you with some useful information that will help you to be better prepared when you come to México.

Immigration Crisis in Mexico Part 2! United States Embassy Advisory Issued! What you need to know!

I recently did a video on the immigration crisis in Mexico which caused some controversy and raised a lot of questions, today I am going to answer some of your questions and dispel some misconception people may have about the Mexican Law,.

First, I will be presenting a very important advisory issued by the United States Embassy in Mexico through their Emergency Alert Information system on their website. So what does this advisory mean? This guidance has been issued reminding United States Citizens concerning their responsibilities and confirms that Mexico is serious in expecting United States Citizens to comply with immigration ID requirements.

This advisory should clarify some of the questions you may have about carrying your original documents with you at all times.

Immigration Crisis in Mexico. What it means for Expats and foreigners living in and visiting Mexico!

I did a previous video about immigration crackdowns and explained why these crackdowns were taking place and what it means for expats and visitors. That was only the start of what has become a full out immigration crisis here in Mexico. I am going to elaborate on this crisis and discuss what this means for foreigner’s here in Mexico. The immigration rules have changed and immigration isn’t budging!

What is going on? Why has immigration become so strict. Why are Americans and Canadians being deported on a daily basis? Why are people only being given 7 days when they run to border for another 180 day FMM or even worse denied entry? Why won’t immigration accept copies of my residency card, passport or FMM anymore?

I hope to answer this question in this video but bottom line, Mexico is experiencing a major immigration crisis that is getting worse by the minute. Unfortunately Expats and tourist are getting caught up in Mexico’s efforts to get the situation under control.
