We don’t have to go to Mexico to be killed by criminal gangs anymore.
Mexico?
Hell, don’t go to Canada, Australia, Chicago, Manhattan, California— a whole host of places are no go zones these days.
Mexico has been off my list for quite some time now.
I think it’s smarter to wait till it’s finally empty, then visit.
Yep. I read a horror story in the paper way back in the 1980s. And that was about Cancun.
Guy and his bride - she was killed in an accident and every low-life did every dirty thing they could - money, money, money.
I worked in Mexico for a couple of years in the mid-90s, but I would never cross the border now for any reason.
Don't worry, I won't.
But I DO worry that Mexico (and many other third world countries) is coming to me.
there is NOTHING south of the border worth your life, nothing...
OK, I went to Nuevo Laredo across from TX, but I only brought back straw hats, I promise.
But I did get to meet the Corona Girls, they hot
I would assume the cruise ships on their Western Caribbean tours have strict security….( not having been on one)….stopping just off the coast of Mexico
Even the Eastern Caribbean touches down at a small part of Haiti…( another dangerous hotspot)
What’s in Mexico? All the Mexicans live in the U.S.
Good lord…lighten up .

Man, I used to go across at Matamoros in the early 80’s. I could get a case of Corona for 2 bucks. I would buy 8 cases and bring it back to my hotel in Brownsville, then make a couple more trips that day. 8 cases was the import limit.
Then I would bring all those cases back to Houston and sell them at a nice profit. Made some good money back then.
One afternoon I was in the hotel pool and a guy approached me and told me that he was watching what I was doing. He asked me if I wanted to make some real money. I asked him how.
He told me that he could get me into the smuggling business of weapons coming into the US.
No dice. I was out of there.
we were just saying the exact same thing after watching that “Contraband: Seized at the Border” ... nothing new about the sentiment for us, it just reminded us of our vow regarding zero visits to Mexico ...
More than 40 million people visit Mexico annually.
The show House hunters has scores of programs of people buying houses in Mexico and I always say to myself these people are crazy
A little history about Mexico.
The PRI party took over the country and was in power for over 70 years. The PRI has very close ties to the soviet union.
The second largest KGB base in the world was in Mexico City.
After the soviet union fell, Mexico was a struggling third world country but mostly stable. Then came the cartels. They took over the northern states and eventually took over Mexico City. Then the Chinese got into the act and are now partners with the cartels. The Mexican government is a government in name only. The cartels run Mexico with financial backing from China.
With all that going on, our betters in DC have left our border with ChinaMex wide open.
This could only happen with a compromised bribed President Biden.
But Trump is on trial?
You can buy a house in Mexico but you cannot buy the land it sits on. Mexican law.
I think I heard there is something similar in Hawaii .
