You can get a passport since you have completed your jail time and parole/probation. If you can enter Mexico is up to Mexico and will be determined for each case. You should contact the nearest Mexican consulate or embassy.
Yes but you can’t come back!
Why not just cross the border illegally.
Why not jump the border , buy a home , and a car , obtain someone elses Identity using a fake name etc. , and put American Flags on your house ,and car , then sue the Government , because no one speaks your language , demand public officials learn english , demand the fact you have the same rights as legal citizens , then demand that english become the second national language …see how far you get with that …The mexican government is all for it when it comes to their people coming here , it should be fair ,and balanced if we do it there shouldn’t it …
