Mexico: United States
built 642 days ago
Travelling in Mexico is most practical by bus, car, or air. Passenger transport by train is almost nonexistent. Except the Chihuahua del Pacifico rail line which pull out every morning at both ends of the line, one from Los Mochis on the Pacific coast, across from Baja California, and the other from Chihuahua in the east (due south of El Paso, Texas). They cross each other roughly midways at Divisadero and Barrancas Copper Canyon stations at 7000 Ft. altitude.

The struggle in Mexico against electoral fraud is developing into a revolutionary situation and its most advanced point is in the state of Oaxaca. The Marxist Tendency "Militante", part of the International Marxist Tendency, has been involved in these struggles from the very beginning and is now one of a number of organisations being targeted for repression by the state. Urgent international solidarity is needed.

The official entry requirements for land border crossing between the United States and Mexico haven't changed. You need to present proof of citizenship and identification. You can do this with a passport, or by presenting a birth certificate or citizenship card and an official ID such as a drivers license. However, those of you who cross the border frequently probably know that crossing the border into Mexico can be as simple as walking through a turnstile - nobody asks you to present any identification at all, and in the past one could often return to the United States presenting a simple ID and stating your nationality. Starting on January 31st... the United States will no longer accept oral declarations of citizenship so you will have to present one of the forms of officially accepted documents in order to return to the United States. Even if you're just taking a day trip to Tijuana or heading down for a shopping trip and dinner in Nogales or to have a dentist visit in Algodones, you'll need to be sure to take the proper documents.
