Yes the Secret Service will arrest you if you do it . Counterfeiting any official document is a crime, US or not. Even if you are in Mexico the S.S. can go after you if your counterfeiting activities affect US interests.
Also you would be wanted by the Interpol, and the Mexican Federal Police (and trust me, you don’t want to be on a Mexican Jail).
