McALLEN — The Mexican government will work toward imposing new passport regulations for entering their country from Brazil almost five years after eliminating passport restrictions for Brazilians entering Mexico.

John Naland, U.S. Consulate in Matamoros said he had requested that the Mexican government reinstate the visa requirement for Brazilians.

This is the first time the Mexican government has officially responded to that request.

Although local Border Patrol officials could not comment on the specifics of the new requirements, the news could mean a possible decrease in the number of Brazilians crossing the border into the United States illegally.
