People enjoy the beach in Cancun, state of Quintana Roo in August, 2007. Americans visiting violence-wracked Mexico this month for annual "spring break" vacations should be safe as long as they don't stray from tourist resorts, a Republican lawmaker from Texas said Monday. (AFP/File/Omar Torres)
I am keeping my Yankee Dollars at home.
you MIGHT be. and you MIGHT NOT be.
Why not starve Mexico of tourist dollars so they would have the b*lls to keep going after these mafiosi?
Why not suggest the Texas Gulf Coast there, John. Who elected you to the Senate? Beginning to sound like W, promoting Mexico when you could be promoting your own state.
There far better destinations in the U.S. Why go to a foreign country that is awash in drug violence.
Yea "probably" safer than TJ or Juarez
What an idiot.
The government wants USA citizens to spend as much money as possible in Mexico, damn the danger.
They could care less if any of them get hurt or killed, just spend the trust fund money there.
On the bright side of the darkening economic news, the decreased disposable income in the United States has caused an uproar among the drug cartels...
Perhaps we can get them to bail out our banks...
I just got an email from our retired border agent friends. We were discussing guns, Mexico earlier and the thought the libs would use our 2nd amendment against us. Well, it’s already started.

Just one line:
“American arms dealers line the U.S. side of the border, supplying the criminal elements with weapons while the Mexican government, unable to fully employ its population, tries only half-heartedly to shut down its most lucrative export, drugs. The result is a closed loop that would be comical if it weren’t so tragic. The guns flow from El Paso, Texas to Juarez, Mexico, and the drugs flow from Juarez to El Paso. The arms dealers and their defenders fall back on Second Amendment rights to justify making weapons plentiful even as the product that is fought over and defended and distributed is banned in the United States.”

Arms dealers line the border!!! Haven’t ya seen ‘em down there passing out guns to the illegal aliens!!
Eleanor, you miserable old ____!
I had my grandson sign a statement that if he is captured by the police or other criminals that he understands that any financial help I might be capable of give to his captors would directly affect his parents inheritance, his own inheritance, his sibling’s post graduate fund and their future, would probably destroy the financial planning two generations and very likely would result in his death anyway. I told him if he is foolish and irresponsible enough to go to Mexico I would have no choice but to disregard his needs in favor of the needs of his immediate family when dealing with his captors. He couldn’t believe I was serious but I insisted that he sign it and understand how serious I was.
Can our representatives be any more stupid????????????
Throw this clown out with the cat crap.
