US Auto Insurance for Mexican Plated Vehicles driven by NorteAmericanos

I am posting my question here on the Northern Mexico forum thinking there is a greater likelihood of someone in this area having my answer rather than those living in the Lake Chapala area and other areas of Central Mexico where so many MexConnect participants seem to live. They are not likely to have the answer nor the necessary experiences.
I hope there is someone among you who is:
1. a US citizen living legally in Mexico with an FM2 or FM3 visa,
2. who has a relatively new (up to five years old) Mexican plated vehicle, with a lien (still paying for it in Mexico),
3. driving it with a valid Mexican driver's license issued by the same Mexican state that issued your car tags/plates,
4. who insures this vehicle in Mexico through a reputable Mexican auto insurance company,
5. who has driven this vehicle NoB, into the USA, having purchased, in Mexico/near the border, some kind of insurance, liability only/full-coverage, to insure the vehicle in the USA against accidents, at a minimum, or possibly more, with some sort of full coverage, (I am not even sure full-coverage is available, so if this complicates matters, just consider basic, liability insurance only),
6. who subsequently has been involved in an accident NoB and
7. who was then able to get the matter resolved, via the insurance purchased, with satisfactory success.
If you are such a person, I would like to know that such a person exists, and if possible, where/when/how you purchased the insurance to cover your Mexican vehicle in the USA.
I go to Tucson frequently with my Mexican partner, in his Mexican car, with his Mexican plates and his Mexican DL. He stops and buys insurance for the USA, as do many, many other Mexicans. He has never had an accident or a claim. So we don't know if the insurance is any good or not. But he always has to show his Mexican voter's registration card...there is some other name for it, but it is the ID that Mexicans always show and that is universally accepted in Mexico.
I have heard that that insurance is only available to Mexicans. That having an FM2 or FM3 visa is not sufficient. And having a Mexican plated vehicle, or a Mexican DL brings no benefit.
So, how do we Americans from the United States get valid insurance good in the USA for our Mexican cars?
If you meet the seven conditions/pre-requisites above, I would love to hear from you.
