You may have gone to Mexico without incident and that is awesome, but you really do not know what you are talking about. I live near the border and universities have had to close because of the gun battles between different cartels on the border. Long standing Restaurants from Mexico are relocating to the US because they no longer feel safe in their own country. Friends of mine whom have homes and family in Mexico and the US are scared to go back and forth to Mexico. The media here are scared they will be bombed if they report what is going on. Law in enforcement has been beheaded and left in the middle of he street to send a message to the people. Tiffany Hartley went to my church when her husband was killed by the cartel. Pastors, their families and church members are becoming licensed to carry a concealed hand gun.

I didn't need to read on after the part where you said you live in a border town. DUH! That's like saying you live in South Central L.A. Common sense says you stay out of those areas. I live in Nayarit in a town called Sayulita and it's so fricken safe compared to anywhere else I've ever been! Pls.do not scare people like this. It is so not realistic!

I'd be curious to know what border city you live near.

The area you are speaking of isn't dependent on the income from tourists. Your border communities violence isn't a depiction of violence in Puerto Vallarta and other tourists communities. I mean, that's like saying there is a high crime rate in New York, so I won't be visiting Florida.

I live two short blocks from Mexico and have seen none of this. I think the author does know what he's talking about - he was just there!
I am in Mexico 2-3 times a week for brief visits in the town across the line. I travel there often, at least monthly.
La Paz was just named one of the safest cities in North America! Most - NOT all - of Mexico is as safe or safer than the US.
