someone said that as long as you pass to them 20.00dollars they would let you pass anything but, not any more they would want more than that amount to keep them happy and in that way they won't call the police. Because we, as American citizens DO NOT HAVE ANY RIGHTS IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY.

You should call your local customs office. They will know what papers and other things you may need.

I would contact the Mexican Consulate and the city hall of the town where you were born and find out if these records are available - and the costs.  Be patient and prepared to spend some money.  Always keep copies of your correspondance and make your questions in writing.

Well, I'm in Mexico as I write this, and I'm returning after March 1st.  I was told I didn't have to have a passport to return (I certainly didn't need it to get down here), so I'm definitely hoping you don't have to have one.  \n\nGo to http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html and do a little research.\n\nEDIT 3.6.06:\n\nWell, I'm back and with no birth certificate.  Sailed through with no problems.  Good ol' USA.

If you are here illegaly then you will have to go back to mexico for forgiveness(1-2 yrs) then you get your litte paper thing. and you are a citizen(but they could take it away from you at any tim so don't mess it up)

I have used my U.S. check card at ATMs in Mexico.  If it is Visa or Mastercard, those are usually internationally accepted.  I don't know specifics about South Korea though.

Yes it is a bit scary that they are doing this but to be honest last time I went to Mexico [I hated it btw] you could buy almost anything from their pharmacies so they have no scruples really!

You just cross over the boarder into British Columbia, going thru Canadian Customs. Just make sure you have some photo ID on you. Have fun!

Not too sure because rules are strict regarding immigration.\n\nBest way to find out : dial 211 : it is a free phone number to get answers like that.

Very much depends on what the goods are.  There are different tariffs for different products if you ring Customs and Excise they will give you all the information you require.

Yes, the mexican "legal" system has alot of flaws in it still.\n\nYou can offer a "tip" at the border to get accross faster,  and a "tip" to very nice police officers for varoius help.\nA good "tip" for a officer around the border would be about 20 dollars, but only about 5 or 10 if you are much further into the country.\n\nI lived there south of Mexico City for a couple of years, and our business owner ( from the US) would "tip" on a regular basis, the city mayor, the chief of thier police, and a couple of city people.\nIt made everything work very well.\n\nI found that I could get everything that way except a phone in my apartment, ( never did get one)  but since I tiped ( really tiped) anyone that came and told me I had a call on the pay phone by my house,  I almost always had someone standing there listing for the phone to ring.  ( sorta my own answering service)

CORRUPTION mexico is full of it. if there wasnt corruption that country would be like Canada. Serioulsy, from an educated person from mexico I know what Im talking about. I had a friend ask me the same question he was like: "how come if mexico is next to the best country in the world it is so poor" I had one word for him Corruption.

Good question ! I believe nothing of what I'm told, 50% of what I read. I used to commute daily from USA into Mexico and back (job), I tried to be as well or better informed than the customs people were. The ones with an attitude would hold me up even though they new me, just to be @s*holes.
