"I feel this story should be heard."
The following are the contents of a letter we received at Borderland Beat from a couple that until recently resided in the tourist destination of Ixtapa in the state of Guerrero, Mexico.
We have independently corroborated certain facts in the letter and believe the contents to be true.
Names and addresses have been deleted for obvious reasons.
I feel that you should be made aware of an incident that occurred early in the morning of May 9 2011 and about the treatment we received after.
My husband and I were sleeping at our home on Calle ____________ in Res. _________, Ixtapa. At about 2.30 AM I saw 3 men approaching from the back area of the house. We jumped out of bed and managed to keep them from entering the house for at least 5 minutes. We turned on the alarm in our car and during this whole time we were yelling Ayudar Ayudar as loudly as we could. The robbers were also screaming and yelling because they were not at first able to get in. The leader of the bad guys picked up a brick and threw it at our glass door, shattering the glass. They were then able to get inside by smashing all the glass out of the door. The entire time this was going on, our car alarm was still sounding off.
Inside our house the robbers beat both my husband (very severely) and myself and also at one point in the battle they shot a gun at my husband but thankfully did not hit him. They then tore our house apart and found our bank and credit cards. After they held a gun to my head and saying they would kill my husband I gave them the passwords.

Calderon while visiting Las Vegas recently said: the only "shots" that the Spring Break tourists needed to be afraid of is tequila shots.
Then we have the TSA protecting us by having Grandma remove her Depend's while at the same time we have insurgent's pouring into our country.
What were these people thinking?
Yep, our leaders are going Mexican and to Mexico, everytime they bring up the illegal amnesty boondoggle issue.
But this is for precedent, because our leaders want to be amnestied for the mess and theft they have caused.
The entire country of Mexico is now one big IQ test.
If you go there, you failed.
Not to mention those same Mexicans are illegally working the airplanes at the backdoor of the airport while we Americans are being strip searched at the front door.
Our federal government has outgrown its useful purpose.
They were thinking that they got a higher standard of living for a lot lesd $ and they weren’t thinking about anything else.
Went there once......many years ago....sick for weeks after we got home...I learned my lesson. It’s a pig sty with pigs for people.....sewage in the streets....filth at every turn!!
FWIW, the death toll from murder in the USA in the same period is approaching 75K. To be sure the USA has not quite 3x the population of Mexico, but the murder rate in Mexico as a whole is not that much greater than USA.
Since murders in Mexico are concentrated in the regions being fought over by the gangs, it is likely the other regions have a lower murder rate than the USA as a whole.
Though murders in the US are also concentrated in certain areas, of course. These being specific areas of cities, not entire regions of the country as in Mexico.
It’s a pig sty with pigs for people.....sewage in the streets....filth at every turn!!And many places in our country have become similarly pigified.
Well, they were silly enough to move there...how much you wanna bet they’ll stay there even after this.
Mexico is a truly beautiful country with a load of natural resources.
Sadly, corruption and stupidity has wasted and ruined it.
I know older relatives (and I’m no spring chick) who vacationed and even lived for periods in Mexico in the 40s-60s. A truly lovely place.
I would love to go back to Acapulco, Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta, Taxco . . . but only as I knew them in years past.
So sad what has happened there.
The twin concept of civic duty and political freedom is lost on Mexicans — whether it be those that reside in Mexico or those who are in the USA illegally. Mexicans come to the USA, and have always come to the USA for a single reason: Money. If and when it runs out, they return to Mexico.
Did anyone ever wonder what the murder rate in America would be if we didn’t have blacks and Hispanics in this country?
What percentage of Americas murders are commited by whites, and how many killed by whites were breaking into their homes or robbing them?
Whites commit roughly half of the murders in this country, while being roughly 80% of the population.
Who in their right mind goes to Mexico on vacation? All the hotels in Afghanistan were booked up?
Monterrey, as I remember it from the 60s, was one of the most beautiful and romantic cities ever. Surrounded by mountains and starlit skies, filled with plazas and flowers and music, just a treasure.
Now the cartels have taken over.
I have a dear friend, an older lady who’s been a citizen here for 50 years, whose family still lives in Monterrey. She can’t even go back to see them now because of the danger. So sad.
Gotta love Mexican gun laws disarming civilians. Replay that around here and the article would be about a few dead robbers.
