Some Mexicans who don't have passports can get visas to travel into the U.S. a distance of 20 miles from the border. We also have Border Patrol agents in U.S. airpoints that are near the Mexico border.nitrogen wrote:Why the H E Double Hockey Sticks is there INS/ICE checkpoints *INSIDE* of the country??
For U.S. citizens there is a special tourist visa that is only good for border towns in Mexico. You can't go into the interior without a passport. They also have internal check points in Mexico. Even the Mexicans can't pass these check points without proper papers.
