I’ve never travel outside of Mexico before, but let’s say, I do want to travel to a country that do not ask you for a visa, BUT, to get to that country my plane do need to make a stopover in the US. Do I do need visa just for that stopover in the US?

Not if you transfer directly to another plane, you only need a Visa if you go through passport control.

Most airports do it like this, but I’ve been to places hat need a transit visa just to get to your next flight. Odds are you are correct for a US connection.

Yeah it varies from one airport to another. It can also depends on layover time. In Hong Kong (on my way from Aus to Vietnam) I had to leave through customs to get to another part of the airport and enter through customs to get my connection. I was fingerprinted and facemapped both ways.
Similar happened when connecting in Kuala Lumpur where the layover was 9 hours due to typhoon and the airline forced me to leave the airport, allegedly infringed to go to a hotel, but I doubled back and snuck into a closed off area where someone forgot to lock out an elevator to sleep for a bit. They force you to leave the airport so there are fewer people just milling about for hours.

Why didn’t you want to go to the hotel in KL? Were upu worried you wouldn’t make your flight?
