(note: Mexican immigration law is much harsher on the undocumented than US law, but much easier on legal immigrants so get your papers in order when you try this; it's pretty easy.)
Actually, Mexico reformed its immigration regime a few years ago, such that it is now decriminalized and involves only a nominal fine. Not that you'd know it from reading US media, which doesn't cover Mexican politics very well.
