Chris, a bit of history on the Visa. It was introduced in 2009 because of the large number of bogus refugee claimants arriving from Mexico. The visa introduction has been successful as the number of claimants has been reduced by 95%.
Downside is the number of Mexican tourists have also declined substantially because of the hassle in getting the visa, an unintended side effect.
