Point of interest - If you are travelling on British (and other VWP member countries) passport, you still need an ESTA to enter the USA.

The rule is no different if you enter the USA via another country, in fact the boarder crossing from Mexico is mre stringent than some other ports of entry in ther USA as they attempt to prevent illegal immigrants arriving.

Thanks, but that wasn't my point. My point was this: it is possible that you could come face to face with a US immigration official without having completed an ESTA if you entered by land.

If you are flying from the UK without having done an ESTA you won't get anywhere near a US immigration official: your airline will leave you in the UK. They check you've done it before they allow you to check in.
