Thanks for sharing history facts on Mexico, and unfortunately, i should have checking dates first because I'm leaving on Mexican independence day. If I decide to book same-day turnaround, I'll be sure to give myself 4+ hours in case plenty of Immigration and Customs officers decide to not show up for work.
