Great point; why would you go to a place where people want to get out of. The last time I was in Mexico was 1990 in Acapulco. The cops target tourists who are driving rental cars and shake them down. I had to keep a ten dollar bill in my shirt pocket to give to them every time they stopped me. Three times in one week for total BS reasons. Acapulco was corrupt then, but it is downright deadly now.
Per post #16:
U.S. government employees are prohibited from travel to the entire state of Guerrero, including Acapulco.
