Border towns all sell insurqance for the US, so that will not be a problem. I have nver bought insurance for a Mexican car coming into the U.S., but I assume you can buy it for one day up to six months, or a year at a time.

The Mexican car can operate in the U.S. with no problem. The only problem is, most Mexican cars cannot be sold or registered in the U.S. because they do not meet emissions or safety standards.
