I’ve heard about Matamoros.
Wasn’t an American medical student kidnapped down there years ago?
I believe he was tortured and murdered by the cartels.
If I ever visit south Texas, I’ll stay on the American side of the border.
Yes, I believe it was a student but that’s been a while back.
I was thinking about the fall of Mexico, among other countries.
Used to be that college kids would go to Mexico on vacation. One Mexican college student I met would travel across the border frequently and was fluent in English. Yes they had less money but the place wasn’t bad.
Then several years ago I went to Paris and from the train saw neighborhoods I absolutely would not walk through. Worse than St. Louis. Not anything like 30-40 years ago.
And here in America once safe and descent neighborhoods have homeless at every highway off-ramp, gun shots several times a week, carjacking’s, etc.
It seems like every place in the world is getting worse, not better.
