The couple was not from Texas. If you don’t live in a border state, and all you watch is network news and teevee game shows, you come away with the opinion that Mexico is our friend and ally, that you’re perfectly safe vacationing on the border. I hope this case disavows many of that notion.
No, I don’t think they should be help responsible THIS time, but after this, everyone should know: it’s unsafe to vacation near Mexico, let alone IN Mexico.
The couple was not from Texas”
I thought I saw the wife say they had lived in Texas for a number of years.
The couple were not vacationing there. They had in fact been living in McAllen, TX. His job with an energy company had fizzled out and they were soon going to return to Colorado. I’m sure they lived there long enough to learn of the dangers. McAllen is a border town and believe me, all of Texas knows about the dangers that exist in all of our border towns.
