The U.S. Embassy in Mexico has issued guidance to Americans headed to Mexico over the winter months, encouraging them to be mindful of the country's current Level 2 travel advisory and urging them to "exercise increased caution" due to "terrorism, crime, and kidnapping."
The embassy shared advice for planning safe travel earlier this month, including "following the entry and exit requirements, reviewing local laws, and other travel guidance from the U.S. embassy or consulate."
The Level 2 advisory -- outlined on the official State Department travel website -- applies to 17 Mexican states and notes that violent crimes include "homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery."
"There is a risk of terrorist violence, including terrorist attacks and other activity in Mexico," it adds.
Seven states including Baja California, Chiapas, Chihuahua, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Morelos, and Sonora have a Level 3 advisory, which means Americans should "reconsider travel." Six states -- Colima, Guerrero, Michoacan, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas, Zacatecas -- have Level 4 advisories, indicating that Americans should not travel there.
The State Department website reminds travelers that it has "limited ability to help in many parts of Mexico," and government employees aren't allowed to travel to certain high-risk areas.

Don’t worry Me hee co. I will not be visiting. Get your act together.
Just avoid the rat infested drug infested, shit hole country in the first place
I, for one, won’t be spending a dime or a minute there.
Used to be a decent place to visit.
I decided over 30 years ago to never cross that border again. it hasn’t got any better.
Well since southern California is essentially Mexico once removed it won’t be long.
violent crimes include “rape, homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, robbery, and rape.”
You put down rape twice.
We like rape.
For two hundred years, they start out killing each other and wind up killing the Gringo.
I spent a week there on a spring break bender when I was a senior in college. Cancun, 1992. I see no reason set foot in that country again
I never understood why any American would ever want to go to Mexico. I’m almost 60, and every day for as long as I have been alive, people that live there have risked their lives trying to get out.
Just avoid the rat infested drug infested, shit hole country in the first place

One could make the argument you are talking about -
Chicago
Philly
SF
LA
Portland
Seattle
etc.
My brother-in-law and his wife go to Mexico regularly to stay in $5,000 a week timeshare resorts with security and limo service from the airport. They seem to think Mexico’s just hunky dory.
And he thinks that all Mexicans that come to the United States illegally are just like those nice polite Mexicans who work in the resort and wait on the rich gringos.
I’ve traveled to some pretty funky places in my day. A quick peek at my profile page will give you an idea. But I’ve never set foot in any Spanish speaking country (except Puerto Rico) and never will.
Why would you even go there?
They brought the rat infested drug infested shit hole country here. Democrats allowed it to happen.
I was going to say just don’t go, but your comment has more flair to it.
I’ve visited Acapulco many times, even as recently as last year, and have never had a problem. Of course, I stay in the tourist zone.
What American is crazy enough to go to Mexinarcoland?

Not that different from the States, so long as you live in a gated community with $18 an hour security guards to do your dirty work.
