    read it, it’s right there in the law: the car has to be qualified by american import restrictions and standards; which these cars do not have and will never get.

    the only way to legally drive is it is to return it to a garage out of state and all of the states have similar laws.

      What does that have to do with how long a Mexican can keep their car in the U.S.?

      Are you under the bizarre impression that a car has to be registered within 24 hours of crossing the border?

        i think you’re purposely missing the point; there is no such thing as 24 hour car registration and you cannot register a car unless it’s garaged in the jurisdiction to intend to keep driving it in.

        any car owner knows this so you’re clearly no longer arguing in good faith and i don’t see a reason to continue.

          Yes. And you do not have to register a car right away.

          Which is why Mexicans can legally drive to New York.

          Are you seriously arguing that there are no Mexican cars in New York? Not a single Mexican has legally driven to New York?
