As Americans prepare to pack up their books and hit the beaches, many are hearing an increasingly strong warning from the U.S. government: Think twice before traveling to Mexico.
As of today, the U.S. State Department has issued its strongest possible “do not travel” warning for five Mexican states — Colima, Michocan, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas and Zacatecas — due to “crime and kidnapping.”
Of the 32 Mexican states, only two have a “normal precautions” designation, the lowest level.
The popular tourist state of Quintana Roo, which includes vacation hotspots such as Tulum, Playa Del Carmen and Cancun, has a Level 2 “exercise increased caution” warning.

Don’t go to Mexico because you could lose your life, but anybody from Mexico, criminal or otherwise is more than welcome to come here, and murder you.
I go to Israel and elsewhere in the Middle East often. I feel safer there than I do in Mexico.
Don’t worry about visiting the cartels in Mexico — the U.S. is working to bring them to you!
I suppose some people are still too sanguine about the failed state of Mexico, and have to be told.
THIS.
Going to college in the 60’s hardly anyone could go anywhere but home for Easter/Spring-Break. Uncle Sugar paying for tuition seems to have changed that.
There are certain neighborhoods in cities of border states that are just like Mexico you can go there and get the same thrill.
The warning is for State Department employees.
Yep. Welcome to Clown World.
Lol , HGTV still peddles shows with American simpletons moving to Mexico .
Must be exhausting editing out all the DRUG CARTEL action.
Don’t the Chinese Communist Party own Mexico now ?
Have you noticed that nearly every home has bars on the windows and doors? If that alone doesn’t give one a clue I don’t know what would.
Who in their right mind would even go there?
Michoacán, one of the states on the list is beautiful. Much of it resembles Switzerland. I’m glad I got to visit it in 1975, when it was relatively safe.
In the early and mid-sixties, local teenagers would head for the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach, Calif. during Easter vacation. They called it “Bal Week.” But these were mostly high school-aged students. During Easter vacation, 1964, it rained most of the week, so we figured that instead of surfing and going on rides at the Balboa Fun Zone amusement park, the kids had to spend “Bal Week” sitting around and listening to Beatles records.
