Can a Mexican Student temporarily residing in the US buy and drive an American car?
I'm an exchange student currently in the United States, and will be here for the next 4 years, I was wondering if I am able to buy and drive an American car, get insured and possibly (since I'm located at the border with Northern Mexico) drive to Mexico and back to the States? If I'm able to buy an American car, can it be with my existing and valid Mexican drivers license, or do I have to get and American drivers license?

If you buy a car built for the American market, you can surely drive it in Mexico. The US has the stricted emissions standards in the world and Mexico's aren't that strict. As far as the license goes, if you are going to be here for 4 years, you should get a state license in the US. Although it is possible to drive on your Mexican license with the proper paperwork, it is less of a hassle for you ever get stopped by an officer.

It's not easy, but it's not too hard either. You will need to gather certain documents - your I-20 form is absolutely necessary, your passport, previous passports, financial documents that verify your ability to pay for your education (bank documents usually), and you need to provide some type of assurance that you will come back to Mexico after finishing your studies. You will need to show them that you have a home in Mexico and close family ties - you may need to show mortgage or property papers for your own or your family's house(s). You may also need to explain why you wish to study in the US and what your professional plans are for the future - how will you use your degree in Mexico? Do some research, but first you will need to get accepted by a US college or university. Si necesitas mas ayuda, puedes contactarme en espanol. Buena Suerte!

yeah, now getting F1 visa is easy. The most important thing is that you have to show them that you can finance your education and living for that period. So, strong financial documentation like bank balance, your parents' support, etc will help you get the visa.

Im a freshman going with a marine biology expedition and my schools dean says that it is safe as long as you follow the rules (travel during daylight hours, stay in groups, don't stop for anything) usually schools are real tight asses when it comes to students being under their watch so i would assume that it is safe enough for now if they are willing to risk global news humiliation, and huge payouts to family's if a student is killed by cartels.

Why would you want to go to Mexico? You'll get SWIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNEE FLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
2 :
as long as you leave before 18 years and 6 months, you should be fine...keep in mind that you don't just "tag up", you have to establish an address and everything back there. And if you do get the student visa, make sure you major in something that will get you an H1B when you graduate so you can stay...don't major in art or philosophy or history or TV production...go for engineering or IT.
3 :
You must leave before you turn 18 1/2 to avoid any penalty for being here illegally. If you leave after you turn 19,you will receive a 10 year ban on returning. If you get accepted to a college,you will then receive a student visa to come back. You will have to show proof that you are able to pay the very expensive international student tuition. When your student visa is over,you will have to return to Mexico. A student visa does not get you a green card.
4 :
well, if you leave before you turn 18 1/2, you won't be legally barred from getting a student visa. But, just because you are legally inelgible for the visa, that doesn't mean you'll be approved. chances are pretty good you won't since you've been living in the US illegally for most of your life. if you leave at 19, then, there's no question but that you'll be turned down. at that point, you'll be legally responsible for living in the US for over a year and you'll be legallly ineligible for any visa for 10 years.
5 :
Yes you must leave by 18.5 .. then try to return .. If you leave later then you get the ban for years

Cheap, all-inclusive Mexico resorts for students on spring break?
I'm going on senior spring break with my friends and am looking for something cheap (less than $400 a night) in Mexico that's all-inclusive. Anyone had any experiences that were good? Bad?

My husband and I went to Cabo for our honeymoon. We are both 25. We stayed at the Riu Palace and I was very impressed. The place was very nice/clean, but the buffet that was open all the time wasn't awesome. The DINNER selections were nice. We ate Japanese one night, mexican another...few other choices. The drinks were never watered down- we drank a LOT. Sometimes I wished the drinks had a little less alcohol. lol I'm not positive on the per night cost, but for flight AND all inclusive stay at Riu Palace for 7 nights for 2 adults was right under $3,000. I thought that was good for the quality of service we received. I ended up booking the trip through Riu's website. I would definitely book another trip with Riu.

Hola. People seem to believe Cabo is huge. It really isn't. There are only a few all inclusives right in Cabo, but they are good ones. Riu Palace and Riu Sante Fe do most of the spring break business, but there are also others, the Pueblo Bonito and Villa is big spring break resorts - these all are on the spring break beach called Medano, which isn't far from downtown nightclubs etc. If you want really really cheap the Tesoro has an all inclusive option and its right across the street from all the nightclubs. Say less than 100 a night. You can also go 20 minutes out to the other town (san jose del cabo) and get rooms at a resort, and then shuttle, bus, or taxi to the downtown. Look into the Royal Solaris, Crowne Plaza, Mayan Palace, Barcelo, El Presidente to start, or along the way is the Melia Real. All all-inclusives. Good luck.

Here in Mexico, the kids are taught that the USA in conjunction with Santana, the corrupt president of Mexico at that time, stole the land from Mexico. You will never get a different answer from anyone here, child or adult.
2 :
We are taught that it was an invasion with the sole purpose to acquire the rest of the what would become the American west. President Santa Ana was forced to sign the release under duress, Mexico City was under US occupation when the treaty was signed.
3 :
With the US being the Evil Empire, and the Mexicans being the brave, valient oppressed freedom fighters of course. How is anything involving the US taught in Mexico.
4 :
I'm mexican and i was taught that Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was somehow a corrupt president and that we lost territories to USA after the Treaty of Gudalupe Hidalgo. That's it, they never told me anything about USA stealing, or that it was an unfair treaty. I think it depends of the quality of education that some other mexicans receive, i went to a private school, so i don't know if they teach the same in public schools.
5 :
Well depends; the official history puts Santa Ana as a devil not worthy of mention, but the truth is that Mexico was a very divided country with a lot of internal wars and disputes, so when the US decided to invaded Mexico some Generals support Santa Ana, some were against him and some others believe that the best way to end with the problems was to go back to become a colony, the catholic church supported the idea of a foreign occupation, So not everything that official history is true, the United States enhance the victory, Mexico victimized it self. Santa Ana was not a Saint, he was an opportunist, pragmatic politician, that went from royalist to republican as fast as the times were right for the move, he was like a lot of dictators, full with vanity he called him self the "Napoleon of the South" when he was dumb enough to be right in front of a battle and then caught by Houston in San Jacinto, (now Houston tx), he was the president! why he shall be risking so much by doing what he did!. and by the way in American History it is told that El Alamo was taken by an organized Army.. far from the truth, most of this soldiers were force to enter the war and were very much against it, they did not have uniforms and even did not know how to use a rifle, but they were plenty. In the conflict that follow the war known as the Mexican war Generals never fought side by side supporting each other, they fought their own battles and even helped the US, by not helping a fellow Mexican General in a battle, so they just watch how they were defeated. The catholic church was a very powerful institution and in a lot of towns they spread the word that finally mexico was being conquered back again, so they told the population not to do anything. The third thing is that Mexico was very very poor, Santa Ana kick out all the rich Spanish out of the country in 1828, and they took all of the money with them, close their stores , factories and mines, and the trade with the Philippines, so mexico became from being the richest spanish colony, to a really poor country with a lot of internal disputes. Santa Ana saw an opportunity to sell part of the country getting some cash for his government and some to his pocket as well. I can go on an on but I rather suggest you one book call "Mexico Mutilado" by Francisco Martin Moreno http://www.gandhi.com.mx/index.cfm/id/Producto/dept/Libros/pid/189976 Also the history of the "septentrion" or the far north, a history of the north of Mexico and what is now the SW of the USA that is not often told in American history despite the importance of it, since is really how the west was born, during the time of the Spanish, from cowboys to indian conflicts etc,and 200 years before those lands called USA or Mexico "Crónica de un PaÃs Bárbaro" by Fernando Jordán.

They tell the students that the greedy "North Americans", which is what Mexicans call Americans, were not happy having taken Texas from Mexico so they invaded in order to steal more land. That's it in a nutshell.
