It’s akin to four white people going to the black neighborhoods of Chicago and taking an afternoon walk about.

Things you don’t want to do... Mexico is a despot, corrupt and lawless country. The trips are cheap for a reason, the healthcare is cheap for a reason, the danger is clear and present. Do not go there.

What’s even sadder is she was going for a tummy tuck! I’m not kidding.

Early reports were of a shootout with one dead Mexican national.

Thank you.

Maybe SHE went for a tummy tuck, but those 3 guys may have had other reasons for accompanying her (cough drugs)…. Just seems weird.

If I recall correctly, several years ago a guy drove to Mexico for some cheap dental work and was never heard from again.

My wife and family are in Matamoros and I’ve lived there almost 8 years. This only happens to gangbangers and people involved with cartels. I work in Texas and go to Matamoros pretty much daily.

That being said, Mexico ain’t for the faint of heart. Pussies won’t last long down there, but if one can hack it, a guy and his wife can live like kings on US minimum wage. A light bill only comes once every two months, and it’s around $40+/-, food’s cheap and delicious, medicines are cheaper than dirt and plentiful, about the only thing more expensive down there is electronics.

Within 10 years the southwest US will be just like Mexico.

I lived and worked in Mexico City and environs and I can say honestly that I saw anti-Black prejudice as rampant there as any place on earth.

Of course. The worst thing you can do to a Hispanic is to equate them to black people. Los Angeles is a war zone because of the strife between them.

Will Al Sharpton be travelling to Mexico to demand that the people who attacked these four young African Americans be brought to justice? I’m guessing no.

Black women dont get tummy tucks. Obesity is not looked at the same way.

Those border cities are dangerous. After this I’d expect people will think twice before heading down there for medical procedures.
