What will it take? Stop going into Mexico people! Make the country feel it in their wallet!
Cancun can wait.
“Stop going into Mexico people!”
I stopped going in the 80’s. The problem is, how do we stop MEXICO from coming here??? Their war is now our war, beheadings and all.
Yet, there are MANY, even here on FR, who insist Mexico is just fine!
Despite warnings, Mexico still draws Americans
FALCON LAKE, Texas — Despite a bloody drug war raging just across the border, some Americans living near Mexico act as if it’s still a backyard playground.
In the last two weeks alone, two American tourists have been killed in Mexico in vicious attacks — one while riding a Jet Ski and another when his bus was hijacked. And a Mexican police commander investigating one of those deaths was killed this week, his severed head delivered in a suitcase to a local Army post.
But Texas officials keep encouraging boaters to enjoy the bass fishing on a border lake. And Gov. Rick Perry has not urged people to take any special precautions, suggesting only that U.S. and Mexican authorities increase the law enforcement presence in the area.
“There’s like a psychological aspect to these kinds of warnings, that folks just don’t take them seriously, or perhaps they believe the authorities are simply issuing these for liability reasons,” said Fred Burton, vice president of intelligence for Stratfor Global Intelligence, which analyzes the drug war.
“There are people that say, ‘Well, I know this area. I’m comfortable. Nothing will ever happen to me.’”
Tiffany and David Hartley may have been two of those people. David Hartley’s father, Dennis, said his son was not aware of any violence on the lake.[snip]
