The document also functions as a full B1 / B2 visa when presented with a valid Mexican passport . Section 104 of the United States Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) serves as the legal basis for the issuance of Border Crossing Cards . </P> <P> The BCC is issued only to Mexican citizens residing in Mexico and by the U.S. diplomatic missions in Mexico . </P>
