The Mexican government announced yesterday that due to slow passport processing time here in the U.S., it has decided to allow U.S. citizens to enter Mexican territory without a passport, with the only requirement for entry being “any kind of I.D.”, in a move to help accommodate travel to the country. Mexico’s El Universal reports that the if an Mexican immigration authority attempts to ask for further documentation from an American citizen, they will be committing a crime.
Wow, casi casi the same as when Mexicans try to travel to the U.S.! In all seriousness, it’s only fair to point out that Mexico has a lot to lose if in the summer months — high travel season — if it loses all of its American tourists.
