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.
Agree. Posting currently from Cuidad Juarez. There are some beautiful places in Mexico and friendly people. Juarez isn’t one of them but Im here on business.
