We have a modern day Vietnam (probably more like the Korean Conflict) just south of our borders. The death toll in Mexico is approaching 40,000 since 2006. In Vietnam we had ~57,000 KIA's from 1956-1975. I can't imagine taking the family on vacation to a war-zone let alone moving there. What was these people thinking?

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.

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.

The death toll in Mexico is approaching 40,000 since 2006.

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.

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.

Who in their right mind goes to Mexico on vacation? All the hotels in Afghanistan were booked up?

Gotta love Mexican gun laws disarming civilians. Replay that around here and the article would be about a few dead robbers.

This is what a country with out the rule of law looks like. Remember this.

It is coming soon to our nation. Not one person with influence or authority gives a rat's eyelash that we have a usurper in the White House. The Usurper in Chief ignores the rule of law on matters of life, death, peace, and war, and NO ONE does anything about.

Tyranny and complete corruption is coming to your town. It may not be Obama and his minions, but it is coming. Count on it.

In the US, in the four years from 2006 to 2009, there were 65,642 murders.

Nothing different from what it has always been. Just more media talk about it now....years back my sister-in-law and her husband and family moved to Puerto Rico (because of his job) They had a colonial home and when they went to bed at night the upstairs was closed off with iron gates. That was at least 25 years ago...

At about the same time, a friend of my husbands at work went to Jamacia with 2 other couples and rented a villa...got broken into, and the thugs separated the men from the women and they all thought they would be killed...but just robbed, even the rental car..truth is a lot different from what the commercials say about those 2 places...
