Travel Alert [Mexico]

¡Ay, dios mios!

Mexico has become the type of country where the guards check for weapons at the border and if you don’t have one they give you one.

Wow, that’s spooky. I’m definitely staying out of Mexico. Sounds like its getting as dangerous as Los Angeles.

I live ~140 miles from the Mexican border. Haven’t been there in years (and I used to LOVE going down there for a day trip!) and don’t plan on going.

Those who do travel down there are looking for more trouble than they know how to handle!!

Sad!! Most Mexicans are good people caught in a bad situation and their corrupt government (like OUR corrupt government) won’t do anything about the problems they have down there!

It’s a shame to paint ‘all of Mexico’ as a serious problem. There are plenty of areas that are perfectly safe (safer than most US cities).

Has Frommer reported on this?

Sure they will. They made guns illegal.

There are plenty of areas that are perfectly safe (safer than most US cities).

You go right ahead and believe that, and act accordingly.

I saw the handwriting on the wall and stopped traveling to Mexico in 2000.
I am fluent in Spanish, but always hide the fact and some of the conversations and comments I "accidentally" overheard would curl your hair.

Life is too short.

That would be you. One is 25 times more likely to die wandering is a suburb of Chicago, DC, or Baltimore, than where I live a couple months a year in Mexico. Mexican spainish I understand, american ‘gang-speak’ I don’t. Only idiots would go to the ‘frontera’ in mx - likewise the ‘neighborhoods’ in the US.

I am curious about where in Mexico you live. I have a friend who moved to Cuernavaca and told me how safe it was. She said “it is really really safe, there are guards everywhere”. That only added to my distrust of the place.

We stopped traveling to Mexico years ago because of several incidents that happened to us. My Mexican housekeeper goes home once a year and she is terrified to do so. Her family just got back without incident but others that she knows were not so lucky. These are Mexican nationals with Texas plates on their vehicles.

Just outside a fine city in B.C.S.

Sorry you will have to define BCS.

“U.S. citizen visitors are encouraged to stay in the well-known tourist areas.”

Those aren’t so safe any longer.

Their advice will get some Americans killed. The mass murders and beheadings aren’t just TJ and border states any more. They should issue warnings about the Pac. NW, where the drug cartels are now fighting each other over control of growing territory in our national parks and forests!

Diario de Yucatan – Merida, Yucatan – 08/20/09

A decapitated body with signs of torture was found in a bag near Cancun. A man was shot as he attempted to flee from his assailants on a heavily traveled street in downtown Cancun.

El Sur (Acapulco, Guerrero) 8/17/09

Article headings from the state and local news section: Beheaded victim found with narcomessage on highway from Zihuatanejo to Lazaro Cardenas ***** Taco shop owner in Ixtapa shot dead ***** Farmer and three sons murdered in Zapotitlan ***** Two “young men” found tied up and executed in Tres Palos (a town some 15 mi. outside Acapulco). [But “Milenio” (a Mexico City paper) today recapped events in the same area and tallied two beheadings and a total of nine homicides. The two at Tres Palos had been tortured and each had been executed with a coup de grace.]

They made guns illegal.

Is that why only illegals have guns!!???

LOL!!!

And...drugs are now legal there. That ought to boost the tourist inflow.

I asked my Mexican housekeeper what was the location of BCS and she could not tell me. I am very curious you could answer by freep mail if you are reluctant to broadcast.
