Which Mexican law or regulation restricts entry from the US to Mexico via the land border?

Accepted answer

I don't believe you will find a law that says the border is closed or restricted, simply because it's not. The border from the US to Mexico (at least for the land crossings from San Diego, CA to Tijuana, BC) is wide open. Anyone (not just US citizens) is able to cross into Mexico on foot or by vehicle. The only restrictions here are on crossing from Mexico into the US (US citizens, green card holders, and work or study visa holders are exempt from these restrictions).

There have occasionally been restrictions from Calexico, CA to Mexicali, BC, but this is infrequent and usually only for Mexican or US holidays. The fact that INM announces when they will be restricting entry at Mexicali, and that they allow you to enter upon showing passport (when crossing on foot) would suggest that legally the crossings into Mexico are open.

This year the Mexican government have frequently stated that they believe the border should be open, and they have been working hard to convince the US government to ease or remove restrictions.
