There seem to be widespread misconceptions about crossing the US border into Mexico. It is NOT hard at all.
There are not Mexican officials monitoring the flow of traffic into Mexico in the way that the US officials are doing right next to them. In San Diego, if you don't want to drive your car across the border (because your car insurance won't cover you in Mexico), you can park in a parking lot on the US side, walk across a little bridge and there you go.
If you DO want to drive your car into Mexico, you just...drive. Remember the US Marine who accidentally drove across the border carrying guns?

Tahmooressi had walked across the border into Tijuana to patronize an establishment popular with Marines from Camp Pendleton, his mother ,Jill, said.
As Tahmooressi explained, out of a parking lot, "I just made one wrong turn, and then that one wrong turn that I thought was going to take me north to San Diego was actually an on-ramp that swooped around back to the south and to Mexico."
At one point, he got "funneled" across the border.
"There was no way out of that except for if I had turned my truck around and drove into oncoming traffic," Tahmooressi said. "That would have been the only way that I could have done it."
