Some of the lower class are good people --- some are friendly and honest and helpful --- but not all --- there are lower class neighborhoods in Mexico where you would not want to go. Mexico's society is rapidly disintegrating --- crime rates have shot up dramatically --- where it was once pretty safe to travel isn't now --- I know good people from Mexico who won't go just over the border where they are from even for a visit --- they say it's too dangerous now.

I didn't know that. Do you know why?

Interesting you say that FITZ, I had a recent talk with a legal immigrant from Mexico who is a young Americanized female working at a restaurant.
She told me she used to feel safe taking trips back to visit relatives and that she doesn't feel that way now.

I told her about how last summer I took the bus across and back to Mexico in a day just to do it after the years since I was last down there.
I felt UNCOMFORTABLE down there.
The impression I got was it isn't safe down there at all anymore.

I think you are on to something in your post, I felt the same thing and the Mexican born woman I talked to felt and observed the same thing.

Too many people are reporting the same thing, your post is a good one.
