>>The Mexican drug wars are mainly about the overland routes...<<
That’s kinda how it was ‘splained to me. Baja may get some overflow attitude, but the serious stuff is in Mexico proper. And a lot of that is fighting with the indigenous indians - also not a Baja issue.
Who knows, maybe Baja will become the location of most American tourist traps as time goes on.
The Chiapas indians have been somewhat rebels/terrorists for some time. Southern Mexico is still pissed because all the $$$ from both Mexico and America are going into the north and they’re dirt poor down there.
