Office of Mexican Affairs
The Office of Mexican Affairs (ARA/MEX), coordinates U.S. relations with Mexico on a broad range of issues.
The depth and diversity of the ties between the United States and Mexico are reflected in the wealth of information available on the Internet. In addition to official State Department and other U.S. Government information, the Office of Mexican Affairs wants to help you find answers to many of the most common inquiries that we receive by providing links to other government and private sector sites. We do not endorse any information found on non-U.S. Government sites. We have either found these to be useful as background information for our work or for providing suggestions to the public for other sources of material on Mexico.
