Officers may refuse entry on character grounds
Mexican migration authorities may refuse a visa or entry to a foreigner whose record in Mexico or abroad is judged to compromise national or public security. The law does not name sex offences or set a sentence threshold, so decisions are discretionary and made at the border.
