Literally no one checks anyone at the border going into Mexico. You just drive right in. It’s getting back into the US that you have to wait in line 6 hours to show a passport for

Got turned back to the Mexican border office to have it stamped. So yeah, they check but after that never was checked and you never drive around with your passport when you shop or go out to dinner. Just a photocopy of your driver's license. I used an expired license. They are so 3rd world, many people live there years and never get caught. They are cracking down on people leaving for a day then coming back in to renew the 6mo tourist stamp.

I mean I guess I can’t say what always happens, but I’ve driven into Mexico at least a dozen times and never been stopped or seen anyone stopped or even any kind of border guards at all

Really? I would just skip across and use it as an opportunity to get another identity.

Yep, totally free flowing traffic going into Mexico

Not always. See my comment above. People do get checked. They even wanted to see my dog's Vet papers to see if he had his shots.
