"the Mexican government does not share information about people entering" - Most of the time the Mexican government doesn't even look at your passports, so it doesn't even have the information itself

@Midavalo if you walk over the border they do check passports/FMM AFAIK. But if you drive then yeah, no checks at all.

I made a U-turn 16 years ago after leaving the U.S. via the San Ysidro border crossing because my 90 day visa free tourist period was running out. There was no check whatsoever (also not by the Mexicans who don't expect or are not afraid of Norte Americano immigrants, apparently). I needed the exit stamp though exactly to prove my compliance; we turned around, lined up for a few hours on the Mexican side and then had to explain to the U.S. agent that we needed an exit stamp, which took a minute. "We are really punishing the wrong people here", he sighed and let us u-turn again to Mexico.
