Time to start vacationing in Baghdad. It seems to be safer than most parts of Mexico.
This is going to continue - and become much much worse. Americans have no business in Mexico.....except perhaps for the Marines ;’}
I quit going to Mexico years ago. Too much risk and the odds aren’t worth risking yourself or loved ones.
These are smart people. They realize that the assailants probably were the police. No sense being victimized twice. Cut your losses, don't go back there.
We were robbed at gunpoint on the beach at San Blas nearly 35 years ago - by the cops - with soldiers backing up the robbers from a few yards away, holding Thompson submachine guns. Haven’t been back.
I have an engineer friend who has a heart of gold. He refurbished about 15 computers and made arrangements with a church in Baja California to donate the computers for a computer lab for the underprivileged. He and a friend loaded the computers in his friend's van and headed south.
They got as far as the border. At the custom's check, they told the Mex. govt. agents what they were going to do. The Mexican authorities confiscated the computers and the friend's van, kept them a couple of hours then let them go, without computers or van.
I would not be too surprised if the Mexican police and criminals in these robery cases are one and the same.
he was lucky!
I traveled through Mexico in 1976 on our way to El Salvador. All I heard from locals in the towns was to be careful of banditos. They warned NOT to stop for anyone in the country side. Many road side robberies and murders .
It sounds like nothing has changed.
These attacks seem to be the equivalent of a Mexican hissy fit...we’re not going to put up with illegal immigrants...well then this is what we’ll have to deal with South of the Border.
When liberals want to use "anecdotal incidents" they make them into Hollywood movies.("Redacted")
1. BUILD THE FREAKIN’ WALL!
2. Stop ALL tourist travel to Mexico.
3. Withhold payment of foreign aid dollars or oil purchase payments to compensate victims.
I used to drive that road all the time when I was younger, in my Camaro, God I was soooo stupid.
Only idiots go to visit a country that is at war with us.
Something is seriously wrong with comfortable Americans who freely choose to travel to Mexico to watch an “off road auto race”, especially when it will involve driving back over the border in the wee hours of the morning.
bttt
Wish the American authorities/police would do the same when they come across illegals here.
